I found my inspiration for this pre-Raphaelite artist here;

Yet I have always found inspiration from art pieces within the earlier periods of time but also by visiting Tate Modern's Gallery in London.

Widely known for her beautiful, delineation of Victorian children. Throughout her work Anderson captured the essence of beauty and detail of the human face, using oil paint as her chosen media.

Andersons' specialised in the workings of children and women which was only acceptable in
England during the Victorian era. However, her expertise expanded, not only with portraits but
with the concept of landscape, depicted and illustrator.

Today most of her artwork "adorn" art galleries and the homes of many art lovers. The delineations
were vintage and captured perfectly for the pre Raphaelite style of producing a painting.

In the place of Cinnitati, moving away from the revolution in 1849, Anderson began working with
portraits, charging families within Ohio and Pennsylvania for her painting pieces. In 1849, 5th of
October she hosted her own exhibion at the Western Art Union Gallery. When her earlier works
restricted only to portraits and figures. Four or five of her designs became apart of Henry Howe's
"Historical Collections of the Great West."

I found my work inspired by her, mainly because of the vintage feel of the design in a way in which
can influence a future artist in illustration and painting, also the difference many centuries have
provided for the viewers of her design work. Her detail and persivive edge could not uninterested you
in the slightest.
