Artist's Background

Rita Blitt is an internationally renowned, award-winning painter, sculptor and filmmaker, who cares deeply about people and creating a more harmonious world. Her work celebrates her love of nature, music, dance and the spontaneous flow of movement captured in the drawn gesture. Her deeply felt lines have become paintings up to 33 feet wide, sculpture up to 60 feet tall and the inspiration for her films. When making her lines, she feels as though she’s dancing on paper.
