(Earlier painted under the name of Anne Maurer before returning to my maiden name of Esposito)

Painter and Teacher in Oils, Pastels and acrylics.

My work is driven by my own journey through life and of my love of symbols and metaphor.

The paintings sometimes arrive as if in a dream, often while I am doing other mundane things.  They seem to have a life of their own and direct the painting process often surprising me in the twist and turns towards the final outcome on the canvas.
