Cindy A. Anderson's paintings portray common experiences in an uncommon manner. In her world, the everyday is filtered by the subconscious mind and reconfigured into a dreamscape. The scale of her work creates a strange but intensely intimate experience.

"I am a storyteller, an inventor of a fictional place that is inspired by real world issues and personal situations. Here the rules are different… Everything in my world must manifest through the heart. Logic need not apply. Always interested in creating a mood that communicates in my paintings, I love to leave things a little ragged, scratched or drippy. I think this will convey my feelings in a stronger manner".

The artist uses acrylics or oils on wood for most of her work. The hard nature of the wood allows her to manipulate the surface before, during and after the paint is applied. Many layers of ground are laid down first to make the work as archival as possible. The ground not only protects the layers of paint but can be manipulated into a variety of textures. When the paint is applied, and still wet, tools are often used to carve into the pigment, drawing the subject in its surroundings. Many layers of glazed, transparent colors are then added to create the desired mood. Often, even when the work appears to be finished, Anderson will continue to work into the surface of the painting to give additional force to the image.

"For me it's all about capturing an emotional moment. If you feel something, are moved by my work, then I think I've been successful. Even if it makes you a little uneasy, I mean, at least you aren't board…Right? "

As to Anderson's subject matter she says this…

"There are different ongoing themes in my work. I use medieval looking devices, masks, stilts, wings, hoops, dirigibles, telephone poles, scarecrows, and even the human figure as symbols. All mean different things at different times. Some are an attempt to convey a specific message or feeling and then others defy even my explanations...they just happen. I love the ambiguity of those paintings…they are mysteries waiting to be solved." - Cindy Anderson
