S. Brooke Anderson was born in Vancouver,
British Columbia and raised in the southern
California desert. Both of these very different
landscapes – the rain forest and the desert,
find expression in her work today. Brooke
began painting at the age of six with her
mother, also an artist, who inspired her love of
shape and color. After returning to Canada to
study Fine Arts, Brooke worked for a major airline
carrier enabling her to travel widely throughout
the world pursuing her interest in art, literature
and painting. The subtle beauty of Japanese
art enticed Brooke to immerse herself in
Japanese culture, and study shodo (Japanese
calligraphy) for several years. These cultural
influences emerge in her work on many
different levels. She paints full time, and
resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, with
her two daughters.
