About Me


"Torn"© 2007
Oil On canvas
~Anita York-Chase
Hello My name is Anita Lee York-Chase aka "Rafiki",
I am a Self Taught,Eclectic,Freelance Artist from Southern California.
I work in most mediums,but prefer, Oils,soft pastel and pryrograghy (woodburning) on gourds. Much of my freelance work is in Exterior and Interior Murals for homes and business's, with some Illustration work as well.However I love to paint for myself,painting anything and everything that moves me.
Often showing in local Galleries, "Thanking God every day for a talent that helps me to clear my mind,and my spirit allowing me to share in "His Creation" while helping to provide for my family" It just doesnt get any better than that~
