Biography
"Steve's paintings are the work of an artist who thinks beyond just lighting and composition - someone who has an affinity for staging drama. He should be working in movies!" -- Sir Peter Jackson
The artistic achievements of Steve Anderson span huge dimensions. He has created and supervised visual effects for film and television, winning a Primetime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Achievement in Special Visual Effects" for ABC's War and Remembrance in 1989. As Senior Concept/Show Designer for Walt Disney Imagineering, he designed Walt Disney World's New Tomorrowland Astro-Orbiter and directed its installation, was art director for the 100,000 square-foot exhibit "Innoventions" at Disney World's Epcot, and his concept art for the S.S. Fantasia was described by Disney as "a clear winner in market research polls." It inspired the look of the cruise ship Disney Magic, launched in 1998. Steve helped conceive and design Disney's "GM Test Track," one of Epcot's most popular attractions. Two of his pieces were included in the world tour exhibit and accompanying book edited by Karal Ann Marling, "Designing Disney's Theme Parks: The Architecture of Reassurance."
In 1999, he turned to art and design as an independent consultant. His clients include Mattel, Warner Brothers, Wingnut Wings, Aeronaut Books, theme park projects in Dubai and China, the U.S. Navy, history magazines, and private collectors. Steve's paintings and models reflect scrupulous attention to detail along with technical and historical accuracy. While he specializes in World War I aviation, his many works depicting Naval Aviation are among the 13 awards for aviation art from Aviation Week and Space Technology, the American Society of Aviation Artists (ASAA) and five individual awards from the National Naval Aviation Museum including 2013's R.G. Smith Award for Excellence in Naval Aviation Art. He is an Artist Fellow of ASAA.
Steve attended California State University, Fresno, obtaining his B.A. in Fine Arts, then his master's in Painting and Sculpture. He went on to teach a wide variety of advanced art, sculpture, and ceramics classes at Fresno City College, California State University, Fresno, and Northland Pioneer College in Arizona.
Since 2005 Steve has been working on a series of oil paintings for the production of model box art for Sir Peter Jackson's "Wingnut Wings" company.
