Welcome to Ritaart by Arita

This site offers an online display of some of the creative examples of portraits by Midlands based Artist Rita Simmonds who has worked as a Professional Artist creating 3d and 2d works since 2000. It includes Portraits that have been exhibited or included in several Ann Kullberg Pencil Box showcases and the UKCPS magazine, for more information follow me on Facebook or Instagram.

For fullness, my portfolio of work on here includes items of still life and fantasy, although I concentrate on portraits of people and animals using a range of media including graphite pencil, colour pencil, pastels, acrylic and mixed media.

I feel portraits are much more expressive than a photograph as they capture more detail and the essence of the sitter in a way that a camera cannot. I love what I do and work hard to create beautiful, realistic portraits of your loving companions whether human or four legged.

Through time, patience and the highest quality lightfast materials these portraits make wonderful keepsakes for you or frineds and family as they will last a lifetime
