Rowenna Anderson is an American impressionist known for tranquil landscapes and subtle mood scenes. She paints many figurative works and garden settings. Her oils capture the delights of the human spirit and return us to nostalgic eras. A native of Cleveland, OH, the young artist was heavily influenced by her father, a primitive painter who supplied paints, brushes and encouragement. Later, she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Ball University and became an art instructor at Indiana’s Anderson University. Today, her subjects include colorful gardens, coastal scenes and European vistas. Her giclée prints are published by Gallery Giclées.
