M.J. Anderson

Available Works

After several years of teaching and working on large-scale commissions, M.J. Anderson has returned to her studio with a renewed focus on creating intimate, personal sculptures. Anderson travels annually between the Northwest and the quarries of Italy to select marble and to rough out her sculptures which are later completed in her coastal Oregon studio. Her contemporary use of marble acknowledges classical sculpture while presenting a unique vision of womanhood. Her work explores the imperfections of the human figure and seeks to represent beauty beyond image.

M.J. Anderson recently completed Witness: Women of the Resurrection, a life-size marble relief sculpture for the Church of the Resurrection in Solon, OH. Her work has been the subject of numerous one-person museum exhibitions including Five Part Invention at the Museum of Northwest Art in La Connor, WA, in 2003. She has exhibited with Davidson since 1993.
