Ms. Winstanley Roark has exhibited in numerous galleries and photographic shows.  Her fine art photographs consist of still lifes, landscapes and nudes with a “classical feel” and have won her numerous awards including 1st place, Gulf Shore Magazine photo contest.  Ms. Winstanley Roark's photographs have been published in many magazines including Gulf Shore Magazine, Cape Cod Times, Central Florida, Scene Magazine, Cape Cod Driftlines, The Naturalist, The Brewster Guide, The Hyannis Guide, The Cape Cod Guide and other periodicals. Cape Cod Life, Cape Art Review, A-Plus Magazine and the Cape Cod Times have both done featured articles on Ms. Winstanley Roark and her photographic art.

Ms. Winstanley Roark has exhibited in numerous shows including the Museum of Natural History, Cape Museum of Fine Arts, “Cummaquid Fine Arts Figure Show”, C3TV's "Cape Cod Photographer’s Show" and as an invitational artist at the "Women Creating - A Celebration of Cape Cod Women” with her photograph "Sitting With Minerva" selected as the centerpiece for this exhibition catalog.  Cape Cod Times media reviewers said her photographs of the nude were "powerful" and "the glowing skin colors" create a "highly sensuous" mood.  "Here, nature and the female body often meet to create powerful, riveting images that seem to reach across time."

Anita Winstanley Roark’s photographs are explorations of light and form.  Using either her digital or 35 mm camera and a standard 50mm lens she does not alter her images in any way.  Instead, she prefers to use natural light to paint photographic images that explore our relationship with nature.  With rich colors and bold compositions she creates landscapes that are visual poetry.  Her figurative works focus on using light to contrast the textures and repetitive shapes found in nature and her models.  These moving figurative statements create a sense of power that empower the female form and display its connection to nature. Her fine art photographs are intermingled with sharply focused yet sweeping images of landscapes and nudes that display a classical feel. 

In 1995, Ms. Winstanley Roark and her husband, Robert K. Roark, opened their own gallery in Brewster, MA.  In 2002, with a growing demand for more room, and with a desire to add new artists to the roster, they relocated the gallery to Dennis, MA, to a larger and beautifully restored old Cape Codder.

Ms. Winstanley Roark states that "my objective is to capture, in direct images, the voluptuous quality of light and shapes that would ordinarily be missed in the rush of everyday life. I love to stop and reflect upon the beauty of this world and our place in it, and to share this beauty with others."
