Anderson, of a Painter is the solo recording and performing persona of singer-songwriter guitarist Mike Davies.

The work of Anderson, of a Painter sparks from various literature and musical inspirations, and comes through in the form of contemporary lyrical folk and sometimes quirky acoustic guitar-based songs.

The inaugural single Green Light (September 2020) was followed on 30 September 2020 by the associated album As Far As the Eye Could See. The album is retrospective in that it is a collection of songs written circa 2004 but was followed with new material from 2020 in November.

'2020 was the year of the protest song. Well, it should have been. Well, it was for Anderson, of a Painter', said Mike Davies. The album Telling Myself It's Individuals, Not Humankind was released in November 2020 consisting entirely of songs composed earlier that year. The album was stimulated and is bookended by Australian context but has global themes throughout, including a portrayal of the global coronavirus pandemic in the mid-section. This includes the light-hearted single Making the Most of Lockdown released in October 2020.

In December 2020, the single An Algorithm Said was released ahead of the January album The Legacy Fallacy.
