Featured artists: Lynn Fry Agnew, Katy Gilmore, Sarah Gordon, Carol Gouthro, Chris Holt, Molly Hueffed, Sandee Johnson, Lisa Snow Lady, Danis Morgan, Kim Obbink, Annie Starling Sparks

Opening reception at First Friday, March 6, 6–8pm.

Painter and musician Neil Andersson will show landscapes and abstract works at Jeffrey Moose Gallery for the months of February and March. Receptions will be held on First Fridays, February 6th and March 6th from 6 to 8 PM. Mr. Andersson, now living in California, will attend the March event. A FaceBook livestream tour of the exhibition will broadcast from roughly 5:20- 5:45 previous to the March reception.

Mr. Andersson works in a lush, impressionist style with oil on canvas and has painted landscapes of France and the Pacific Northwest for many years. In 2017, he moved to Lompoc, California where he has been painting local scenes at a feverish pitch, working plein-air as well as in the studio. There he has focused on his fine art as never before, joining a number of painting groups including the American Impressionist Society, Oil Painters of America and Southern California Artists Painting for the Environment. In 2021 he was juried into a show at Wildling Museum of Art and Nature, Solvang CA.

Mr. Andersson is also the founder and former guitarist for the internationally known Gypsy Jazz group Pearl Django, a frequent marquée act at Jazz clubs in Seattle. He also recorded and performed with Tacoma's Fabulous Wailers in the early 60's Garage Rock scene.Two new recordings, duets with Craig Sharmat, were released in the last four years.

The duality of his talents and his Native American background are the details which brought Mr. Andersson to the attention of Jeffrey Moose. Andersson’s Native roots come through Montana where his mother was a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.

Mr. Andersson's talents as a painter reflect a life-long pursuit. He holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he studied French paintings from the 1700's to the 20th Century. Mr. Andersson is represented in the Seattle area by Jeffrey Moose, another alum of the Chicago school.

As the years have passed, Mr Andersson’s style has matured into more subtle use of color, complex uses of color compliments and confident, deft mark making, combining to produce works with a gentle touch and brilliant overall harmony. Indeed, he has arrived, as the French would say.
