Lance Anderson was born and raised in Central California, a region that is both the doorstep of the great national parks like Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia and is within a short drive to the Pacific Ocean.
Nature was in every direction and his parents made sure he and his brother spent as much time as possible hiking, camping, surfing, snowboarding, fishing, boating, or just being outdoors. Lance developed a great love for nature, and the more he got lost in it, the more he began to see things differently. As with all things in nature, Lance looks to the sun for life and inspiration and desires to seek out as many corners of the sun as can be found.
Lance has been teaching for over 25 years and teaching art for 15 years. He has taught middle school Art and high school Ceramics, finding fulfillment in teaching the future about art and providing a place on campus where students can feel free from all of life’s problems and feel inspired to be creative. A recent injury has forced Lance out of the classroom to recover.
In addition, Lance has been a singer in bands since he was a teenager, giving voice to a variety of genres such as punk, rock, hip hop, reggae, soul, and ska. He has also used music as a creative outlet for poster art, designing posters and logos for the bands he has been in as well as many other bands.
Lance is married with two kids and loves every part of being a husband and dad, especially continuing to pass on his love of nature and the outdoors to a new generation. He has been on a lifelong quest to find inspiring corners of the sun around his home in Central California and worldwide. There are many corners of the sun. Find yours!
