Artist Statement:
I am a self-taught artist and
have always developed my own
methods and techniques which
have evolved from a
pointillist style with dried
tempera paint mixed with
saliva applied with plastic
styluses and sewing needles to
a more conventional, but still
unique style using acrylic
paint with oil painting ...

Artist Reviews:
"Stephen Warde Anderson has
developed an unusual
pointillist style of painting.
And his women are fascinating
--- part human and part
goddess. He is best known in
the Midwest, and even though
he is still developing, his
work has found its way into
many folk art collections."
Chuck and Jan Rosenak...

| Your Personal Biography |
Born in 1953 in Rockford, Illinois, I am a self-taught Midwestern outsider artist who paints in acrylic. I have been exhibiting nationally for almost twenty years and am affiliated with galleries and dealers in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Washington, D.C. I have had numerous and regular one-man exhibitions, and my work is in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Smithsonian Art Gallery, and the American Museum of Folk Art.
Although I produce a variety of work, one of my focuses is creating historical portraits. Using available images, I strive to create paintings that have are stylized and retain a certain naive quality suggestive of Midwestern 19th-Century folk portraiture, although my techniques are highly finished. |
