Apryl Anderson’s Summary
I am a creator. The migrant life of an expatriate developed my adaptability, and the ability to create a home in transition, knitted and sewn clothing, daily meals and celebrations at the table.
Exploring our world is a driving force in my life. I note my observations along the way with sketches, journal entries and photographs. My canvases are a captured moment in time and place that intentionally echo the eternal, and my current sojourn in Provence is rich with the abundance of light and atmosphere that inspires and invigorates. There must be significance between what the French Impressionists found in Provence and the synchronicity that I should end up here. The light and sensations of this land glimmer to mankind that there is so much more when we allow ourselves to shine.
The vibrant color of my paintings encourage the viewer to radiate their own unique and divine glory that comes out of living one’s calling. My own life is a journey of exploration toward the Source of this radiant light, and my work is the call to self-discovery outside oneself.
Apryl Anderson’s Specialties:
20 years of International living experience in facilitating growth and development in multicultural environments is now overflowing in my paintings.

Creator in residence
Anderfam
(Fine Art industry)
January 2008 — Present (1 year 11 months)
My primary position of motherhood is requiring less time, thereby allowing me to pursue my early love of the arts. Occasional study over the last 20 years is finally turning into productive work, and now I am ready to present both my oil paintings and my writing.
What began as a personal development study in 2005, became a 12-week life transformation workbook, and in turn, also a 12-week course in art technique intertwined with developing the creative spirit.
The cookbook that I wrote during 15 years of International living has been on the backburner, but is always ready to be served hot to the potential agent.
Are you a creative agent, or could you please introduce me to the right person to give wings to my work?
