Biography
Vicki Anderson was born in York, a town in the wheatbelt region of Western Australia, in 1958. An Indigenous artist, she spent her early years in Perth before moving to Waroona, a small town south of Perth, at the age of 29. After working in the public service for a number of years she undertook art studies at the Balga Technical College. Anderson has created distinctive mixed media works in which layers of tree bark form the ground for landscape scenes dotted with kangaroos. The painted scenes gain their structure and depth from the grain of the bark that is arranged so that evokes the contours of tussocks, hills and plains. In the 1990s, Anderson established a business with her husband in Waroona called 'Avargo Design Studios’, and in 1991 she was included in the Dumbartung Aboriginal Corporation’s publication Nyungar Art from the South-West Region of Western Australia . Stylistically, the painting illustrated in this publication bears a strong resemblance to the work Untitled (circa 1940), by Unknown Artist, that is in the collection of the Art Gallery of Western Australia and was included in the Gallery’s 2001 exhibition South West Central: Indigenous Art from south Western Australia 1833-2002.
