Theresa Anderson at House of Flowers

As part of Denver Art Week and the East End Arts District Winter Art Walk Theresa Anderson has a series of landscape paintings from local scenes at the House of Flowers, 9955 E Colfax Ave.  Anderson’s paintings are currently dominated by appropriated and made images from historical narratives, contemporary media sources, and daily commutes.  Cobbling together fragmented and fleeting figurative landscapes she visualizes waking dreamscapes.  Concentration on place that is in transition whether urban or rural- centers the image upon the waking state where dreams and reality divide.    She describes her work as operating on the edges of memories- triggered by something read, dreamt, the touch/ tactile quality of a material, the long forgotten smell.  Like memories and dreams, oftentimes they only make sense when she is in the midst of creating.

Pieces from this ongoing series, stickywater, are the part of private collections and have won grants, international contests, awards, and been included in publications such as the New York Journal of Arts and Design under “new talent”.  One of her first paintings in this body of work is now on rotational exhibit at the new Saatchi Gallery in London and other pieces have been juried into international shows such as the 12^th International Open, at Woman Made Gallery, and at ARC Gallery in Chicago the emerging artist exhibit, Feminist Interrogations, supported partly by Gloria Steinem.  Currently represented at Pirate- Contemporary Art and Ice Cube Gallery in Denver- she is also preparing for a solo exhibit at Ironton Gallery, August- September, 2010.  Anderson graduated from the University of Colorado Denver, summa cum laude, and was honored to receive the Fall 2007 College of Arts and Media Outstanding Senior Award. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota she currently resides in Aurora and works in Denver, Colorado.
