Born
in Jamestown, New York in 1931, David Anderson moved to Tulsa with his family
in 1936. After serving in the United States
Air Force, David enrolled at University of Tulsa, studying under the direction of
Alexandre Hogue, the chair of the art department. He earned his BA degree in commercial
design in 1964. To pay his way through
college, he began striping cars with ornamental scrollwork. His artistic style and reputation spread
beyond Oklahoma and his designs began
appearing on classic Rolls-Royce and dirt track race cars from New York to Los
Angeles, many of which are displayed in auto museums across the country.
An
art professor at University of Tulsa, Dwayne Hatchett, encouraged him to
express
himself in the three dimensional world of sculpture. Discouraged at
first
because he could not do what he intended with clay, plaster or metal, he
turned
to fiberglass. David Anderson mastered the fluidity of movement, the
rhythmic vitality, and the permanence that fiber glass/polyester resin
offered to him. There are few
that have touched his mastery of the mold.
