Native son’s gallery adds color to the landscape

BARRYVILLE, NY — Barryville native son Todd C. Anderson recently fulfilled a dream by opening a gallery in the town where he grew up.

The Todd C. Anderson Gallery, located at the intersection of Route 55 and Scenic Byway 97, shows Anderson’s own works exclusively. Anderson is a Romantic Surrealist, some of whose works incorporate local scenes while others are contemporary versions of classic trompe l’oiel techniques. He is also a muralist and can be commissioned for portraits.

Many of Anderson’s fine art pieces are now held in private collections, such as a notable acquisition by a director of Christie’s auction house in Manhattan, and other works can be viewed in Medusa Art & Antiques Gallery in New Paltz, and Jerico Fine Arts Gallery in Callicoon.

In opening the gallery, Anderson was motivated not only by a desire to show his art but also “to have a relaxing atmosphere in which friends and patrons can talk to me in person.” He said “Seeing how important the arts are for a vibrant and thriving community in places like New Paltz, Newburgh, Beacon, Bethel and Callicoon, I feel honored to contribute to the richness of color that is being added to the Barryville/Delaware Valley area landscape.”

The gallery is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
