Nature has always spoken to Charity Anderson. Born in 1991, Charity grew up along the Logan River, and the slopes of the Wellsville Mountains. Being raised in Cache Valley, Utah helped cultivate her love for the outdoors.
While attending college at Brigham Young University-Idaho, Charity's life changed with the introduction of oil painting. She quickly became captivated with the medium, and expressed that mixing the smooth oil paint was "exhilarating." Soon after being introduced to oils, she took her first plein air class and was delighted in the experience of merging her two passions; nature and painting. Today Charity continues to regularly paint on location, observing nature and recording her experience through oil paint.
Anderson graduated with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts from Brigham Young University-Idaho in 2015. One year later she moved to Northern California and enjoyed capturing the diverse landscape in the Bay Area. In the fall of 2020 Charity returned to her hometown in Cache Valley Utah. She is thrilled to be back in Utah painting the mountains and valley that sparked her love for nature. Through her developing skills, Charity strives to celebrate the beauty of the world by recording the fleeting, sacred moments of the outdoors. Her hope is to visually convey the connections she feels with nature.
