Keith Anderson was a true mountain man and a Taranaki icon. He has made a huge contribution to the region and his oil paintings are part of the legacy he left behind for all of us to enjoy.
Close to 40 original oil paintings by Keith Anderson are on display to view by prior arrangement. Keith was born in Auckland in 1930. He died in February 2003, close by his beloved mountain, Mt Egmont/Taranaki.
His passion for Taranaki's mountain began in his earliest school years, when he lived in New Plymouth. It was strengthened in his teens when he biked to the top of its highest road. Since that time he has lived on the mountain, worked on it, climbed it and skied it. He has promoted the mountain and written about it, hosted visitors on the mountain and rescued people from it.
Keith took great pleasure in creating paintings of Mt Egmont/Taranaki and the surrounding region. His joy lives on in the legacy of his art.
