Artist: Corey Anderson | Location: Atlanta, GA
Atlanta, GA
I was born in Germany but have spent almost my entire life in Atlanta, Georgia. My father was a painter and professor in the Art Department of Georgia State University. I grew up around artists, their work, and their materials. I grew up thinking that art was accessible, understandable, available to everyone. Because painting was my father's career, I wanted to do something different. I received bachelor's and master's degrees in political science and have had a career at Emory University. I spent my 20s-40s doing crafts - weaving, knitting, decorative painting, beading. In my late 40s I began to feel compelled to draw and paint. It's no coincidence that my children were now teenagers and able to take care of themselves. I had my first show in a local coffee shop with a series of landscapes in March 2020, and began painting exclusively in oil and focusing on portraits later that year. I have received invaluable instruction from Pat Hobaugh at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center.
