Charmaine Anderson

Charmaine Anderson is a fine artist and oil painter whose work captures the profound beauty and spirit of the natural world. Originally from Southern California and now based in Portland, Oregon, Charmaine draws inspiration from the dramatic coastlines, expansive landscapes, and shifting light of the Pacific Northwest—while also weaving influences from her extensive travels across the U.S., Europe, and beyond.

Specializing in landscapes, seascapes, and wildlife, her paintings blend the refined detail of contemporary realism with the expressive energy of modern impressionism. Her signature style merges atmospheric brushwork and luminous detail, creating compositions that feel both timeless and vibrant. Many of her pieces also reflect neo-luminism, where light and texture shape the emotional narrative.

Charmaine’s richly layered oil surfaces invite viewers to immerse themselves in moments of tranquility and movement alike—from serene harbors to radiant skies—through rhythm, mood, and the poetry of color. Her confident, dimensional brushstrokes bring each scene to life with tactile energy.

With an award-winning design background working for global brands like Nike and Intel, Charmaine brings a sophisticated eye for composition and ...

Her artistic journey was shaped in the fine art program at California State University, Los Angeles, where she earned Dean’s List honors and actively exhibited her work in campus and regional art shows. Her talent was recognized early on with the Bank of America Award for Fine Art as a high school senior. Furthering her creative skills, she completed the University of Oregon’s Desktop Publishing Certificate, fusing classical training with a refined design sensibility.
