Andrea Boff

I am a world champion dyslexic whose first language is images. I have to balance myself between discipline and wanton joy when I create, because images are exciting to me, but I want them to be meaningful. Oftentimes, one canvas can't contain all I think and feel so its common for me to paint and draw in series. There is an art to life. Like approaching a canvas, or any malleable material, an artful life works against a set of principles. I approach the canvas with respect the same way I hope to approach my life and my friends with respect. Every curious idea I have is explored in a physical space, honoring the rules of color, and light, hoping to manage them artfully and create meaning. I expect you'll see my world view woven into my pieces. Earth's Ecosystem is profoundly designed. The vast details in it intrigue me and belie an Almighty Creator - and I am pulled into the macro and micro details from the galaxies to the cells.

Here's What The Critics Say:Andrea's work is filled with energy, intimacy with her subjects - often taking place in twisted landscapes that defy traditional perspective." You will sense her desire to communicate something of great meaning to each viewer. She continues to signal a powerful worldview in each 2 dimensional world she creates." --------------- Corem DeoFine Arts - Representation: 2000 to 2009Coastal Gallery / Half Moon Bay CaliforniaEliott Fouts Gallery / Granite Bay CaliforniaGenerations Gallery / Yountville, CaliforniaWild Apple Fine Arts Publisher and LicensingShows & AffiliationsCoastal Gallery / Half Moon Bay California - 1 Woman Show - Multiple CollectorsEliott Fouts Gallery / Granite Bay California - 2 Woman ShowGenerations Gallery / Yountville, CaliforniaSterlacci Gallery / Westchester, Pennsylvania - Gallery Shows - One-Woman Shows AwardsSonoma Salute to the Arts / First Place Painting Division / 2003Sonoma Salute to the Arts / Award of Merit Paining Division / 2004Camel Back Gallery "Black & White" Competitoin: Bronze Award / 2024
