Art Gallery in Western Australia, Australia.

Artitja Fine Art is a private gallery and open by appointment only.

Love of the art and its aesthetic coupled with a respect for the ancient Australian Aboriginal culture and tradition is what motivated Anna Kanaris and Arthur Clarke® to establish their private gallery Artitja Fine Art in South Fremantle, with the aim in mind of connecting two cultures through the medium.

Artitja Fine Art specialises primarily in Central and Western Desert art from the Northern Territory and Western Australia, and offers a one-to-one specialised service to serious patrons and art collectors. We also offer advice and information, and can source works on request.

Each artwork carries with it authenticity documentation, photographs where available and biographical data of the artist.

In our practice as Indigenous Fine Art dealers we make a commitment to value the culture of the Indigenous people of Australia and treat with respect art centres, the artists and the art which we see as a very important part of the continuation of the culture and life choices of the artists. We act with integrity and feel it is our responsibility in our privileged position of having access to the art, the artists and their country, to continue to reflect in a dedicated manner the high standards we profess.

Anna Kanaris was first introduced to Aboriginal art and culture in the early 1980’s while working in community radio in Perth, Western Australia. She was involved in liaising with community educational centres, elders and their representatives in isolated communities in the State’s north west setting up satellite radio test broadcasts to enable the learning of languages to the younger members of the community.

Anna has a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Communication Studies and a Graduate Diploma in Journalism from Murdoch University, and left a career in radio journalism to pursue cultural and educational interests in the Aboriginal art world, leading to forming Artitja Fine Art with her partner Arthur Clarke, who also has had an abiding interest in Indigenous art and culture, having had spent many years in the State’s north west.
