Marian Anderson grew up in rural Minnesota. Her father was an avid hunter and taught her much about wildlife from a young age. A lifelong appreciation of wildlife is visible in her artwork. Set in the background of their natural surroundings, the animals come to life. Deer and timber wolves among the dense trees. Loons, swans and mallards on glassy lakes. Cardinals on snow covered branches.
