Galleries and Instruction

 

Edmonds, Washington artist Mary Anderson derives her colorful paintings from the natural surroundings she has known all of her life in the Puget Sound region. Whether in city parks, on mountain trails or salt water beaches, she is always looking for inspiration for her paintings. Now and then a house or farm building will be too appealing to pass by, and become a subject for a painting.

Her work has been exhibited in many juried regional art shows including The Edmonds Arts Festival, The Mountlake Terrace Arts of the Terrace, The Kenmore Art Show and in such public venues as the Lynnwood Library, the Everett Public Library and Northwest Hospital. She received the People's Choice Award in the 2006 Seattle Co-Arts Juried Show at Mercer View Gallery on Mercer Island. Her entry in the Eastside Association of Fine Arts show won an award for 2007.

She taught drawing and other art media to children for several years. She has taught drawing at Edmonds Community College and at ArtWorks, an Edmonds community art center. She teaches watercolor classes at Shoreline Community Center.

She is a member of Women Painters of Washington and Seattle Co-Arts.
