Up North invites viewers into the nostalgic and evocative world of Tim Anderson’s childhood memories, shaped by the rugged landscapes and serene, natural beauty of Couderay, Wisconsin. Anderson’s work in this collection delves deeply into the emotional and physical landscapes of his early years that have indelibly marked his artistic journey.

Through his masterful use of oil on canvas and panel, Anderson captures the essence of the Northwoods. At times his palette evokes the cool blues of early morning lakes and the rich greens of dense forests, but more often than not, there are bursts of his favorite color, a harsh Dutch yellow. Each piece serves as a visual diary, offering a glimpse into the intimate and personal moments that have defined his connection to the natural world.

Up North is not just a return to the past for Anderson; it’s an invitation for viewers to explore their own connections to place and memory, through the lens of his deeply personal art. This show promises to be a compelling exploration of the places that have shaped Anderson’s work, providing a window into the artist’s soul as he reflects on the environment, people, and stories that continue to inspire him.
