“The outdoor experience for me has always been one of adventure, awe, and a sense of divine peace,” says oil painter Scott Anderson, who will be Sutter Creek Gallery’s featured artist for July. Painting helps him to understand and admire the beauty that surrounds us. The endless sounds of water rushing, birds singing, critters moving in the brush, and breathing the crisp air helps Anderson to see and feel what ultimately gets put down on canvas. “I suppose I want others to observe and take in what I have found in nature to be exciting and inspiring, a place in time where my soul has been re-energized,” he explains.
Anderson graduated from Art Center College of Design in So. California with Honors in Illustration. He began as a freelance illustrator in Los Angeles, continuing as an animator for DreamWorks. He then worked for seventeen years as an animator for Walt Disney Pictures on full length features such as "The Little Mermaid,” "Aladdin," "Beauty and the Beast," "Lion King," "Tarzan," and "Mulan.” Most recently, Anderson joined the Sutter Creek Gallery where his landscapes are on display.
The gallery invites you to meet Scott Anderson at the reception in his honor on Saturday, July 4, from 4 to 7 p.m., as part of the region's First Saturday Art Trek. He is one of the local artists exhibiting at the cooperative located in the heart of Sutter Creek at 35 Main Street. Besides original paintings, Sutter Creek Gallery offers many affordable items including prints, cards, jewelry, gourds and fiber arts. The gallery is open Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call (209) 267-0228, email suttercreekgallery@gmail.com or visit www.suttercreekgallery.com.
