Ty attended the School Of The Art Institute Of Chicago, and graduated
with a B.F.A. in 1970. Ty
Anderle's father, Arthur, being one of the top
watercolor
artists and wildlife illustrators of his time, was probably the
catalyst that prompted Ty to begin his study of art. After graduation,
Ty worked in the graphic arts as a designer and illustrator along
with creating his own art which he would show whenever possible.
Eventually, Ty was able to get representation for his artwork
in the Sonia Zaks Gallery and Art Rental And Sales Gallery of
the Art Institute both in Chicago. Upon moving to Tesuque, New
Mexico in the mid-70's Ty got representation in the Elaine Horwitch
Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Leslie Levy Gallery in Scottsdale,
Arizona and the Von Grabil Fine Art Gallery in Sedona, Arizona. |

Over
the years, and several moves between Santa Fe and Chicago, Ty has had
numerous solo exhibitions, including the SXC Gallery and the Contemporary
Art Workshop Gallery in Chicago which won him two nominations for the
inaugural Chicago Art Awards sponsored by the New Art Examiner in 1977.
Also, Ty was one third of a three person show at the Clark/Benton Gallery
in Santa Fe with the late T.C. Cannon.
Today, Ty's working studio is in La Cienega, New Mexico in the quiet
confines of a 100 year old renovated stable. Among the galleries currently
representing Ty Anderle are the The Art Center At The Fuller Lodge (Los
Alamos, NM), the Johnson's Of Madrid Gallery (Madrid, NM) and the Copper
Tree Gallery (Albuquerque, NM and Corrales, NM). One of the recent highlights
of Ty's career has come with his inclusion in the "Trail of the
Painted Ponies 2001" public art project here in New Mexico. Ty
considers this quite an honor to have been invited to be a participating
artist and to have his life-sized painted pony, "Anasazi Diaries",
on display at the city hall of Santa Fe per request of Mayor Larry Delgado
during the summer of 2001. "Anasazi Diaries" was also prominently
featured in ESPN's 2001 pre-race Kentucky Derby special.
In 2003 Ty was again invited to paint two more ponies, one of which,
"Dances With Hooves", became one of the top selling collectable
miniatures in the Trail Of The Painted Ponies series sold nationally.
It was recently retired after selling over 60,000 copies and now commands
high prices on the collectors' market.
Today, Ty is working on new projects ranging from large game fish acrylic
paintings on canvas featuring dramatic graphic effects to brightly colored
canyonscapes. He is also still making wildly painted folk art furniture
and objects made from recycled wood.
