Bert Anderson has been sculpting ideas in clay since his school days. He’s worked with a variety of subject matter from old west figurines to whimsical gnomes. Although the overall look has been different with each project, the one thing that always seems to show up in his work is humor. There have been obvious puns and gags, as well as something simple like a subtle look that makes you smile or laugh. Bert graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, not really knowing what he wanted to do. He had been sculpting pieces all this time for family and friends, but never considered that making figurines was a possible career move. Nebraska created, and mass produced off shore. Based in Lincoln, Nebraska.
