A commitment to landscape is at the heart of Anderson's oil paintings and monotypes, and color is its strength. Unspecific, clean swept vistas or abstract fields of color of her paintings invoke images of landscapes from the viewers' experience. The color is compelling, allowing the spirit of the work to be tranquil or emotional and defined with volume, form, space and light.

The monotype is a medium that holds limitless possibility for Anderson's personal expression. She has used the process as a means to produce an art work with a fresh, self-assured quality. Anderson enhances each monotype with multiple printing to bring out layers of color. The use of prisma colors further enhances the monotype, making each a truly individual work of art.

The artist attended Sophie Newcomb College of Tulane University for three years and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Wright State University. Her work is shown through Spectrum Gallery in Washington, D.C. and in a number of galleries throughout the United States. She is represented in private and corporate collections in this country, Europe and South America. Anderson maintains a private studio in coastal North Carolina and at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia.
