Bruce Anderson is an award winning interior designer and has completed numerous projects throughout the United States.

Asian influence is prominent in both his design work as well as his wall sculptures.
Anderson has maintained his interest in assembled sculptures throughout his busy career as a designer. This latest body of work pays homage to two of his favorite artists, Louise Nevelson and Piet Mondrian. Anderson's constructions employ everyday objects in unexpected ways forming compositions that explore rhythm, texture, and balance.
