About the Artist
Ky Anderson grew up in Kansas City. Influenced by the art community she grew up in, she can't remember a time when she did not make art. She studied fiber and sculpture at The Kansas City Art Institute, but her main focus is painting. She moved to Brooklyn in 1996, but in after 8 years of living in the city she started slowly relocating to upstate NY. This year she has moved her studio upstate and finds that she can get so much more done where its quiet and green. She has shown her work all over the country and her paintings and sculptures are in many private, corporate and museum collections.
When she starts a painting she likes to imagine herself as a traditional landscape painter, painting the hillside or ocean. Her paintings then take a turn into the abstract but all have a similar starting point. She explores concepts of balance, forever, expansion, fear, and movement all within her work. Her paintings tell stories but by leaving them abstract and simple she challenges the viewer to bring their own story to the work.
