About the Artist

A long term resident of Delaware, artist Larry Anderson enjoys focusing his attentions to the beauty of the Eastern Seaboard's sights and events.  Larry attempts to search out past and present nostalgia relating to "history in the making".  Larry likes to keep his art inviting and have the feeling of being able to "walk in and stay" in his works for a while, creating the art that reflects our lives and times.

While Larry enjoys capturing the local lore and events that are unique to this area, he also enjoys "participation painting" incorporating other people's ideas, memories and dreams into his art.  Larry is dedicated to preserving the history of the region, actively supporting causes and efforts by both participation and fundraising events.

Larry is from an artistic family.  His parents met in art school and his brother Jon is a professional artist as well.

Larry is a graduate of Fine Arts from the American Academy of Arts in Chicago, Illinois where he studied commercial illustration and watercolor. After being transferred to the Delaware Valley as an Electrical Engineer and Construction Manager in 1984 he began to realize his talents laid elsewhere and has spent the last 11 years of his life as a full time Artist and part time civic activist.

  • Wilmington Christian School's 1994 Artist of the Year
