Arvid Anderson works from his studio on Fox Island in the scenic Gig Harbor area of Puget Sound.  Arvid works in multi media, including sculpture and monotypes.  He considers himself an experimentalist and uses various methods and materials in his monotypes to create each unique image.  He favors strong colors and landscapes influenced by the marine atmosphere of Western Washington and the dry scapes of Eastern Washington.  His wooden masks and sculptures incorporate natural materials with themes indigenous to the Northwest. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Puget Sound and a Juris Doctor from Gonzaga University.  After a 35 year career as a trial attorney and senior partner in a local law firm he retired to pursue his career as an artist. Arvid has won numerous awards for his sculpture and unique monotypes.  He is active in the Peninsula Art League.  He is a member of the Gig Harbor Open Studio Tour group of commercial artists and the Seattle Print Arts association.  Arvid currently shows his work at Gallery Row in Gig Harbor. Also, look for his work at Poulsbo's newest fine at gallery, Bluewater Artworks, opening soon. 

Artist's statement:  My objective is to concentrate on design and balance enhanced by color.
