Meet the Artist​
Anita Saviko

​​​​​MEET The ARTIST:
Anita Saviko is a watercolorist from Williamston, MI whose specialty is Michigan lighthouses. She has painted in oils, china painting, acrylic, gouache, but she prefers watercolors. Her professional debut was in 1998 as the featured artist of the Lansing Art Gallery, Lansing, MI. Anita has shown and taught art in area galleries and community education classes. Many of her works appear in corporate and private collections.
Anita works to promote emerging area artists and developing the community art scene. Memberships are: Great Lakes Lighthouse Keeper's Association, Shiawassee Art Center, Owosso, MI., Williamston Area Chamber of Commerce and Williamston Citizens Art Committee.
Teaching others and sharing her art was the goal in opening "Studio 215" in Keller's Plaza, Williamston, MI. in November 2009. A natural progression of her passion for the history and mystique of Michigan lighthouses has changed the direction of "Studio 215" to become "Michigan Lighthouse Art Gallery" in November 2012 and this website in May 2013.
February 2020, the Gallery moved to a larger space,#210 and an Online Store/Website www.michiganlighthouseart.com
​There are 130 navigational aids to Michigan sailors and Anita's goal is to paint them all. She researches their histories on-line, seeks out the folk legends and delves in the State of Michigan archives to learn their true character before she paints. The results of these efforts will appear in the art gallery and on this site.
ARTIST STATEMENT
"Watercolors are my medium of choice. They capture the light as it shimmers through the colored pigments on the paper. The light-filled images become magical!
My upstairs studio/art gallery in the wonderful historic 1897 Keller's Plaza Building with it's delightful tall windows and architectural details adds atmosphere to creating art. Sharing my love of Michigan with others through teaching and painting gives me special joy! " Anita
