Artist Biography

A long term resident of Delaware, artist Larry Anderson enjoys focusing his attentions to the beauty of the Delaware Valley's sights and events. Larry attempts to search out past and present nostalgia relating to "history in the making". Larry likes to keep his art "light" and have the feeling of being able to "walk in and stay" in his works for a while, creating the art that reflects our lives and times.

While Larry enjoys capturing the local lore and events that are unique to this area, he also enjoys "participation painting" incorporating other people's ideas, memories and dreams into his art.

Larry is a graduate of Fine Arts from the American Academy of Arts in Chicago, Illinois where he studied commercial illustration and watercolor. Larry also teaches painting privately.
