AN APPRAISAL
Zaklina Anderson is an imaginative intuitive visual artist who makes visible the world of feelings. Her works are the emotional mirrors of colour and form which can evoke high drama or simply quiet introspection. And like all sincere and intuitive artists her deep connection with self enables the artist to create a world where often difficult feelings are transformed into works of great beauty full of life and imagination. To approach her work intuitively is key to understanding its special qualities, a fine talent gathering momentum and clearly going from strength to strength.
