About Us:
Artistic Photo Expression was founded by Michael and Lori Anderson in 2008 primarily as a way of giving back to the community. They are both talented artists and photographers and they have traveled throughout the world with their cameras in hand. Their many travels and photographs became the source of the fine art displayed on this web site and in countless art shows, galleries, charity auctions and publications. Many of their fine art works are donated to support their favorite charities and others can be found in the homes of collectors around the United States.
Michael Anderson - PPA Awarded Master Photographer
It has been an interesting ride for Mr. Anderson. He had a rewarding an interesting career in federal law enforcement that ended with his retirement in 1996. Along the way Mr. Anderson became internationally recognized in computer forensics and he founded one of the first computer
forensics-based businesses in the United States. In 2000 his business was sold to a NYSE public corporation and Mr. Anderson found himself as the
CEO of the NYSE subsidiary. In 2005 Mr. Anderson retired for the second time so he could pursue his life long passion for fine art photography. He learned
oil painting from his Grandfather and he always wanted to be able to create fine art photos that looked like oil paintings. With the advent of digital
photography and related computer software the possibility became a reality in 2005. During his working years, Mr. Anderson also established a strong record of
community service and support of charities. Digital art allows Michael Anderson to continue to support his favorite charities through the donation
of his fine art.
