David Leroy Anderson began sculpting professionally in Hollywood's special effects make-up laboratories. Working for more than twenty years on feature films, David has sculpted, designed, and applied the make-ups of many notable characters, aliens, and monsters on films such as Aliens, Spawn, The Nutty Professor, and Men In Black. In March 1997, Anderson was awarded an Academy Award for Best Make-Up for his work with Rick Baker on The Nutty Professor. A year later, he and Baker won again for their work in Men in Black.

In 2006, David was proud to receive another Academy Award nomination with his father, Lance, for Russel Crowe and all the boxing looks in Cinderella Man. His latest work can be seen in Universal's Evan Almighty, FROST/NIXON and MGM's upcoming Cabin in the Woods.

A longtime collector of silver jewelry, Anderson decided to transform his sculptures into a line of jewelry — wearable, functional art inspired by the bones and skull of an African Lion. He calls his inaugural design "LEONIS REX." Over a year in the making, "Leonis Rex" celebrates the simple yet rare beauty of natural skeletal forms.

Over time, David has turned his attention to other natural forms — fissures of the earth and exoskeletons of ocean creatures. His latest line of Silver Wear extends that fascination with the sea to jewelry he calls "OCEAN NOUVEAU."

Over the past five years, David has explored the form of the Peace sign and has created a collection of pendants and accessories that celebrate this international symbol in an effort to promote peace among people of the world and reject armed conflict.

Known for his zealous attention to detail, Anderson himself crafts each element of the jewelry as a small, wax sculpture — unique in itself. After the pieces have been cast, Anderson assembles each piece to insure quality and authenticity. Anderson calls his company DLA SILVER WEAR because he is committed to bringing his creations to the people in the form of unique sculptures that are both exquisite and wearable.
