| A passion for art
and an equal desire to explore nature marks the life
of this singular artist. Anne Andersson was born in
Sweden and worked as an illustrator and painter
while completing studies for a degree in Science;
she later graduated, with honors, from the Art
Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Her diverse artistic
gifts have led her, ultimately, to create a
technique and vision that spectacularly unites art
with nature. |
| |
| The animal
sculptures Andersson creates – with a technique not
fully revealed – combine her talents in painting and
weaving with her attention to the smallest, most
telling detail. Andersson’s realistic life-size
animals are made using sisal fibers extracted from
the Agave plant; sculpted clay is used for their
noses and hand-painted fired glass for their eyes.
It is a combination of unique materials and supreme
artistic vision that brings these sculptures to
life. |

Her work also serves as Andersson’s homage to
the wild animals that populate our earth in ever diminishing numbers. Each
sculpture embodies its own individual personality; each equally embodies the
artist’s dedication to conservationalist ideals and the goal to preserve
these species in nature. While the creation of any species is within her
oeuvre it is wild cats that stir Andersson’s deepest passion. |
|
|
| The great success she
initially met with exhibiting her sculptures in New
York, Miami and Los Angeles led Andersson’s animals to
become highly prized and sought after works. She now has
in her impressive history a White Bengal Tiger family,
commissioned by Siegfried and Roy, and displayed at the
Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her African Lions
were featured at the grand opening of the Fine Arts
gallery at MGM Grand Hotel. Her Siberian Tigers and
African Lions are on display at Busch Gardens in Tampa,
Florida. Her sculptures are in countless private
collections and prestigious public displays across the
country. |

| To see these animal
sculptures – these works of art – in person is to feel
their tremendous presence, to stand in awe of their
beauty and majesty – and to marvel at the innovation and
skill of Anne Andersson, a truly visionary artist. |
