Anderson
Gallery is owned by famed artist, Bill Anderson, who's a
Huntington Beach resident and long time art educator
known by countless students who took his courses
throughout Southern California. Anderson's love of art
and involvement with the art community in Huntington
Beach includes a seat on the first arts board formed in
Huntington Beach and efforts to shape Surf City into
more or an art city, like Laguna Beach.
So
popular are his works, Anderson has enjoyed traveling
the world. And in his gallery, he's seen (though not
recognized) more than one
Hollywood celebrity and film star. His gallery space
next to Captain Jack's seafood restaurant features the works of world renown artists who
live in the region but are better known in New York,
Europe, Spain and around the globe.
"Most of our
clients do not come from Huntington Beach, Sunset Beach
and Orange County," said owner and famous watercolor
artist and teacher, Bill Anderson. He and his wife, Ausma, own the gallery in a building with Captain Jack's
Seafood and Steak Restaurant in Sunset Beach. The
Anderson Gallery held a reception for some of the
world's great artists in 2005, featuring the works of
five known artists in an exhibit called 420 Years of
Creative Experience.
Featuring the
works of Hitchkock, Zornes,
Anderson and other internationally known and celebrated
watercolorists and sculptors, prices at the gallery are
much less than in other galleries because the artist
sells his and other artists' works directly to the
public. Original Zornes watercolor paintings, for
instance, begin at only several hundred dollars but
would cost over twice as much elsewhere. Bill Anderson,
gallery owner, lives in Huntington Beach where he
creates many of his paintings and sculptures. He
has taught art at California State University Long Beach
for many years and is featured in books that include the
Who's Who of watercolor history.
