American Modernists and their quest to discover a history of art particular to the country they lived in connect me in my personal exploration with European impressionist and post-impressionist artists. I strive to continue their work and further my own understanding of how art concurrently creates and connects us to our culture.Learn more about Katy and her work by checking her listing at the Southern Oregon Resource for web links and contact information.

Michelle grew up in the Rogue Valley and after studying painting at Southern Oregon Art Academy headed straight to Seattle to pursue a career in art. Anderst uses her illustrative style to form fictional but plausible unions of biological and man-made structures on canvas. She spent her childhood poring over her fathers’ anatomy books and has since developed an intense passion for botany, neurology, entomology, evolution and oil paints. In Anderst’s paintings, anatomy and botany are stitched together with saturated color through comparisons of similar natural forms.
