| I grew up surrounded by the beauty and style of man's greatest accomplishments, explains artist Annrika McCavitt, when asked to comment on her upbringing in England by Greek and English parents. My parents actually affected my life tremendously, taking us as children to the great cathedrals, museums and archaeological sites in Europe. McCavitt's mother was born in Egypt and raised in Istanbul, and infused the young Annrika's childhood with a richness of foreign climes and exotic ideas. This legacy of appreciation for classical simplicity and love of the human form is conveyed in the vibrant drawings and figure studies of McCavitt. McCavitt studied at the William Morris School of Art, and the Central School of Art and Design in London, with a B.A. in Textile Design. She won a travel scholarship awarded by the Royal Society of Arts to study fashion and textile design in Europe. She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society during her career in that field. I enjoy the art of drawing, whether it be an animal, a flower or the human body, the artist expounds. To express the sensual curves and grace of my subject in a way that is tasteful and pleasing to the eye. |
