Anderson studied as a mature student at the University of Hertfordshire and graduated with a BA(hons) in fine art in 1999. Since then she has exhibited regularly either as an invited artist or curating her own exhibitions with fellow artist Deirdre Shepherd.

Her influences come from home and surroundings, landscapes and skies and also from her travels. Places are explored on lots of levels- existence, memory and perceived presence.
