Meet Me:  Heather Duggan Anderson

​

I grew up in the hum of Midwestern summers—Minnesota light on lakewater, cardamom in the kitchen, grandparents speaking stories older than the language I knew. Lefse on the griddle, lutefisk I pretended to love, wood‑carved altar in the country church where small dust motes felt like prayers. Those early hours taught me that objects can hold spirit and that a pause can be its own kind of sanctuary.

​

Years later, the compass tilted west, and I found myself on Oregon soil, volcanic, restless, full of thin places. Here, fog slips between cedar trunks like old folklore. Here, I learned the art of paying attention: to crows at dawn, moss that glows after rain, and hush that precedes an intuitive yes.

What Anders Hus Studio has become

A workshop.
A kitchen table.
A small altar of brushes, rune stones, and quartz.

I paint the way some people pray—with eyes half‑closed and palms open. Trees sprout vascular roots, moons carry gold-dotted auras, and quiet portals appear where logic is supposed to live. My canvases are maps for travelers of the inner landscape; my home goods are talismans you can live with.

mystical coordinates

• Elemental devotion: fire for pigment, water for flow, earth for texture, air for breathwork in between layers.

• Daily ritual: candle‑lit tea, three pulled cards (tarot, runes, or the deck I’m building), silent walk until a symbol says take me home.

• Teaching creed: Middle‑schoolers are Zen masters disguised as chaos; they remind me that creation begins before doubt can speak.

• Current fascination: tracing ancestral dreamlines, listening for the Norwegian word that means “almost remembering.”

an invitation

If you long for objects that feel like whispered instructions
If you believe your home can be a compass
If you are learning to treat intuition as a primary language

then

Welcome to Anders Hus (the Anderson House).
Come in, kick off your shoes, and notice what hums.
We’ll share stories, paint portals, and leave room for the mystery that wants to arrive next.
