Painter in Oils. Born 12. 11. 1930 - Died 1. 2. 2003 |
||||||
| Keith Anderson lived for
his first five years in Taumarunui, King Country. His parents shifted
to New Plymouth and then to Stratford where he lived until in 1973
he then moved up Mount Egmont/Taranaki and has spent many years on
its aspiring and spectacular slopes. All his life Keith has shown
an interest in it's natural beauty, fauna and flora. As a keen skier
and tramper he has discovered many alpine settings, with different
light and shade displays. He has been a keen photographer capturing
many beautiful moments on a very special mountain. It was in 1975 at Dawson Falls when a guest who Keith had been involved in a search and rescue to save him, gave Keith $50.00 to "go and buy some paints," so he could try his talents as a painter. (He had always had a keen interest in Art at school but never managed the time to try it.). In those early days of painting Keith was known for his bold and striking Mountain scenes as well as his very original homemade wooden frames that he used for his art work. During those early days he made acquaintance with two very notable NZ Oil Paint Artists, Graham Braddock and Randell Froude. He attended several of their workshops that were held in various places around the North Island including at the Mountain House. Keith started to develop his own style of paintings and is today well known for his in-depth paintings with attention to detail. His art work is displayd at the Mountain House. He had sold paintings into many different parts of the the world such as Germany, Switzerland, England, Scotland, Hungary, Canada, Unites States of America, Mexico, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and Japan. Also many of his works grace New Zealand homes. |
