Come join us here at Studio Seven Arts and meet plein air painter Charity Anderson, she will be demonstrating her painting technique, discussing art and meeting with our guests.

Nature has always spoken to Charity Anderson. Born in 1991, Charity grew up against the backdrop of the Logan River, the slopes of the Bear River Mountains and the northernmost branch of the Wasatch Range. Being raised in Cache Valley, Utah helped cultivate her love for the outdoors.

While attending college at Brigham Young University-Idaho, Charity's life changed with the introduction of oil painting. She quickly became captivated with the medium, and expressed that mixing the smooth oil paint was "exhilarating." Soon after being introduced to oils, Charity took her first plein air class and was delighted in the experience of merging her two passions; nature and painting. Today Charity continues to regularly paint on location, observing nature and recording her experience through oil painting studies.

Anderson graduated with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts from Brigham Young University-Idaho in 2015. One year later she moved to Northern California and currently enjoys trying to capture the diverse landscape in the Bay Area. Through her developing skills, Charity strives to celebrate the beauty of nature by recording the fleeting, sacred moments of the outdoors. Her hope is to visually convey the connections she feels with nature.

Charity, credits much of her influence and inspiration to her mentors Gerald Griffin, and Albin Veselka.
