Located at the corner of Bellaire and South Rice, these "roses" add color to the greenbelt here.
ANAT RONEN
Anat is a self-taught artist, focusing on murals and street painting. Her professional artistic phase started in 2009, almost by mistake. She paints her murals with brushes, using latex (house paint), and acrylics.
So far she painted more than 400 murals, mostly throughout the vast Houston area, including public spaces like interstate highways, bridges, buildings, museums, churches, schools, and more. In addition to her mural work, she participates in international street painting and street art festivals nationwide and around the world.
Since discovering her gift, Anat has made use of it to pay her bills, and also to deliver messages. The cliché of “one picture is worth a thousand words” gets the full definition when it comes to her work. Her dream is to keep on doing it.
