Over the past twenty-five years, Ron Anderson has created a vast body of 3D mixed media sculptures. A few years ago he honed his painting skills and took his sculpture in a new direction. The resulting genre, which he calls “3D paintings”, has garnered him both recognition and awards.

“My work involves creating a sculpture and mounting it on a board-backed painter’s canvas. I paint as if the sculpture were not there, essentially hiding it in the scene. I want the painting to attract the viewer’s attention first and have him surprised by what else he finds.”

Anderson has created custom artwork for the Disney Galleries, the Beach Boys and the City of Santa Barbara. His sculpture was showcased in Architectural Digest and Surfer’s Journal and he has created artwork for a variety of public venues. His clients include the mayors of Sausalito, Beverly Hills and Carpinteria, the founders of Patagonia, Volcom, and The Beach House, the editors of Smoke Magazine and Surfers Journal, corporate CEOs, celebrities and collectors around the world.
