Professionally, Anderson is a traditional sculptor, and his representational works show a variety of forms in relief, freestanding, and multi-figure compositions. Over the years his work has been shown in various galleries and exhibits in Western United States and in Scandinavia. , I ' - I K ' : v J- p i 1 ' 1 ' ' Sculpture, for me, is a celebration in the shaping of things and extends beyond the mechanics of mind and hand. I strive to express with sensitivity and intensity thoughts and feelings which move me from within. The challenge is to captivate the essence of whatever subject I choose and at the same time create a form which has intrinsic aesthetic value. Hopefully, I may share with others the things I enjoy through the forms which I create." Dallas J. Anderson . , , , I f ? . J 'J.
