Landscape, seascape, still life and portrait painter in oil. Anderson – whose career spanned nearly fifty years – is best remembered as one of the most outstanding and extensively exhibited women painters of the first half of the twentieth century. As one of her early biographers noted: “She painted the most ordinary scenes with startling strokes of color.”
