John Anderson

Bamboo III
John’s first art education occurred while he was still an elementary school student when he attended Saturday art classes at the Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia. Drawing played a major part in his career as an architect for over 46 years. He typically produced renderings of building projects in pen and ink with color often added with designer markers. In addition to his professional licensing in six states and membership in the American Institute of Architects, John was certified by the National Council of Architectural Boards. John retired from architectural practice to the mountains of western North Carolina in Hendersonville in 2005 and studied watercolor painting with Sue Archer, AWS, NWS, Sterling Edwards, CSPW and James Scott Morrison, AWS. He is a Board member of the Watercolor Society of North Carolina and the Art League of Henderson County as well as a member of the Southern Watercolor Society. John is a member of the Asheville Gallery of Art and is also represented by the Gallery Alta Vista in Valle Crusis, NC.
