Jennifer L. Anderson is a painter and printmaker whose work spans multiple disciplines and reflects a deep, personal connection to the natural world. Her imagery – often iconic, poetic, and emotionally resonant – is shaped by her lived experience as a woman, a mother, and an observer of the natural world around her. Born in Ware, Massachusetts, and raised on a farm in North Brookfield, Anderson’s early life instilled in her a lasting reverence for the rhythms of nature and rural life. She received her BFA from the University of Connecticut in 1989 and went on to pursue graduate studies while exhibiting throughout New England and raising three children. Now based in Monterey, California, Anderson splits her time between the California coast and her family home in Vermont. Both locations continue to nourish her creative practice with their distinct ecologies and flora and fauna. She most recently was an Artist in Residence at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown, New York, where her research focused on the California Condor and the American Kestrel – two species emblematic of the delicate balance between human impact and ecological survival. Anderson is represented by galleries across the country, including the Carmel Art Association (Carmel, CA), The Copper Fox Gallery (Leiper’s Fork, TN), and Whiteside Gallery (Cashiers, NC). Her work is held in private and public collections internationally.
