When taking a look at the work of Nanaimo's artist, Fred Anderson Junior, one will find most impressive, the cultural link to the past reflected therein. The composition and subject matter of Anderson's paintings are a direct evolution of his upbringing. Anderson's formative years were spent Between Rivers inlet BC & Bella Bella and through the influence of his own family and friends, who were masters in Heiltsuk tradition art developed as a means of expression and came as second nature to him. Through the guidance of noted artists, Ross Hunt and David Gladstone, Anderson was able to develop his talent at a very young age. He has since then evolved as an accomplished artist in his own right, experiencing outstanding success and acceptance.

rson dreams that today's young artists can gain knowledge and encouragement from the masters. He himself offers his support through art exhibitions which Anderson believes, have provided aspiring First Nation artists the ability to exhibit their talents at the elbow of acknowledged masters of the arts. He also sees how art exhibitions allow dealers, collectors and the general public to meet, in person, famous people and rising stars in the media. Anderson was proud to make the short list for the 2010 Olympic Logo with his Spirit Bear called âAwaken The Spiritâ. Although Anderson currently resides in Nanaimo, one can find his artwork hung in galleries all over Vancouver Island and the Mainland. His artwork can also be found on a smaller scale, such as greeting cards, calendars and t-shirts. Many of his works are commissions, such as the eagles in a heart, a symbol of eternal love, often purchased as wedding gifts or the Heiltsuk Sisiulth & Moon commissioned as a comforting gift in bereavement.
Finally Fred Credits Matt James and Bill Smith for their support through the early years in Sobriety that allowed Anderson to bring his work to a new Level that influences many upcoming artists to stretch the cultural barriers and create beautiful conversations for years to come. Not Only did Bill & Matt help Fred develop the art but they also played a huge role in restoring the Confidence & Self esteem Lost while living his life in Addiction Fred Is Thankful and he sayâs will never be forgotten.
