Jim Anderson is a multi-media artist who divides his time and energies between printmaking, mosaic-making, painting, teaching, and writing. A member of The Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers since 1996, his work encompasses many different media and ideas; but use of found or recycled materials is always important, and his work is steeped in the surreal and the satirical.

​He exhibits internationally, and his prints have been awarded a number of prizes in major national exhibitions, most recently the 2016 T. N. Lawrence prize.

In 1997 he was a co-founder - along with Michael Sims and Christian Pattison - of The Illustrated Ape magazine; and in 2000 his book Handmade Prints - co-authored with artist Anne Desmet - appeared, and has remained in print ever since. He was also a contributor to Tony Dyson's 2009 compendium Printmakers' Secrets.
In July 2020 Jim was the winner in an episode of the BBC's TV show Home Is Where The Art Is.
