Caroline Anders uses drawing and painting to respond to the environmental and political pressures that shape the places where she lives and works. Her practice is rooted in close observation of land under change, where industry, policy, and daily life intersect.

Drawing plays a central role in her process. It acts as a first response, a way to track shifts in the landscape as they happen. These works hold a sense of immediacy, with marks that stay close to the moment and the conditions they come from.

Her paintings extend this work. They slow the image down and deepen the atmosphere, building on the same tensions found in her drawings. Together, the two mediums move between quick response and sustained reflection.

Based in Wells, Anders focuses on the visible and felt impact of resource extraction, land use, and governance on small communities. Her work reflects how these forces reshape both physical space and lived experience.

Across drawing and painting, the work functions as both record and response. Each piece traces change as it unfolds, while holding space for the questions it raises.
