Charity Anderson, Plein Air Oils

Nature has always spoken to Charity Anderson, born in 1991 Charity grew up against the backdrop of the Logan River and the northern most branch of the Wasatch Mountains. 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 to her. 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 she continues to regularly paint on location, observing nature and recording her expeience through oil painting studies.

Charity 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.
