Marian Anderson

Artist Statement:

I've been involved in art for 70 years, having attended Saturday classes at Washington University in St. Louis, at the age of 11. Through the years my exposure to art and life itself has left me with innumerable visuals --- which I am able to draw upon and attempt to communicate. This is not necessarily a rational process --- in my case, it is mostly intuitive.
