For over 6 years now, Anita Bowerman has been the Artist in Residence at Hazlewood Castle and has spent many happy hours sketching and painting there.
Hazlewood Castle continues to evolve and is now launching a major new venue in their extensive woodland. The beautiful Woodland Venue includes the Tree Bar, giant fire pits, a pagoda over a trickling waterfall and much more besides. The Woodland Venue will be available for parties, corporate events and used to host Woodland Weddings. Civil Ceremonies and Blessings can even be held in the Woodland Pagoda.
In the summer of 2017, Anita was commissioned by Hazlewood to create two Woodland Wedding concept paintings. These were painted using gouache on watercolour paper and are now hanging in Hazlewood Castle.

I was approached to collaborate with Jo Malone London Harrogate to celebrate the launch of a beautiful new fragrance inspired by the British coastline called "Sea Salt and Bergamot". They wanted a local artist who could hand paint limited edition presentation boxes

I was asked to create a special painting for the prestigious annual Berry’s Tennis Event by Martin Wicks, owner of Hazlewood Castle. This is a magnificent 12th-century castle hotel set in spectacular surroundings near York. As the Artist-in-Residence here, I have many
paintings displayed throughout the castle.

Spring presents the most amazing spectacle and in a short window early May, the Cherry Blossoms burst forth followed by the Bluebells and sometimes at the same time. I love being outside in the elements capturing these sights.
