About this design
Anne Anderson A.S.U
Anne was born in Edinburgh in 1950. There she completed her education. She
sold her first commissioned work at the tender age of thirteen. In her
adult life she travelled and painted extensively in the UK and United
States. She spent the remainder of her years in the coastal village of
Ballywalter, in Northern Ireland. Despite severe lifelong illness, she
maintained painting and continued to 'grow' as an artist.
She was the ONLY artist ever allowed access to Stormont and its Great Hall,
to paint, since Stormont was build, when the original architect did some
pencil sketches. She completed around 14 major works of the Great Hall.
She was to host a solo exhibition there when she had completed 22 works to
hang on the 22 panels of the Great Hall; unfortunately she passed away in
2007, before the exhibition could take place.
A woman of great intellect, Anne always regretted allowing
her mother to prevent her from taking up a place at the Edinburgh College of
Art, where she was awarded a Sponsorship position, before she'd even
completed her secondary education. As a result she became very competitive,
especially with those who had a more privileged Artistic and Educational
background. When she saw a fellow artist's interpretation of some freshwater
fish, at a local exhibition, she thought that she might have a go herself,
the results of her efforts speak for themselves...
