Anita Hunt’s creative work centers around printmaking, drawing, photography, artist’s books and writing. Her most recent projects expand into collage, installation and sculpture. Trained in traditional printmaking at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, she transitioned her studio practices to safer and non-toxic methods in the 1990s. Anita was among the first wave of artists to join Zea Mays Printmaking studio in Northampton, Massachusetts, shortly after it opened in 2001, where she continues as an active member. She taught monotype and intaglio workshops at the studio for twelve years, offering instruction in new processes and materials as they were developed and trialed.

Anita's work has exhibited at the Print Center New York, Highpoint Center for Printmaking, the Print Center Philadelphia, BIEC de Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, London Print Studio, Danforth Museum of Art, the Janet Turner Print Museum, the Tokyo Print Triennial and in dozens of national and international group exhibitions. She has received numerous awards and honors throughout her long career. Her images feature in professional journals, textbooks and literary publications. She is Past President of the Monotype Guild of New England, an elected member of the Society of American Graphic Artists, the Boston Printmakers and the Los Angeles Printmaking Society.
