About the Artist

Practicing the art and craft of silversmithing for over 25 years, Anderson has shown her work in over 30 galleries and juried exhibitions across the USA and Canada. She first studied under metal artist Vesta Ward in Southern California where Anderson fell in love with working in metal. Desiring to elevate her art form beyond mere adornment, she began to create works in silver that could be framed and displayed like other works of art.

Artist's Statement

November 2009 I took residence in the tiny studio above the Yellow Barn at Glen Echo Park. The hope was to do great work and share this art that I love by offering a few basic classes. To my delight the classes filled and the students kept coming. Joined by another talented silversmith, Mawadda, enabled SilverWorks to expand.

5 years later SilverWorks offers dozens of classes and workshops in the techniques represented in the work of this show.
