About

Quinn Anderson is a painter from Georgia who makes colorful, curious oil paintings out of imagination. There’s a sense of magic and play in them, and a little strangeness too, like something you half remember from a dream. The work asks you to slow down and look around inside it.

The images come from her own head: her inner dialogue, the strangers she passes and wonders about, meditation, and dreams. Being a woman is a big part of what she paints and why, and the figures and scenes carry that quietly rather than explaining it.

She works in oil on canvas, and she takes her time. Paintings are made in series, with each one given the space to be finished properly, and a single piece can take her a very long time. The slowness is part of the practice. It’s where the colors get layered, reworked and settled into what they were meant to be.

She loves to work at night, surrounded by candles in her home studio.

Quinn lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia.
