    Andrea,

    Would you like to show the Women of Courage Series Feb. 9 through March 15 at Concordia Univesity’s Ferguson Art Gallery? I am the Gallery Director as you may recall. A reception for the show is scheduled for Sunday Feb. 15 from 2 – 4 PM. I would also like you to give a talk about your work for Women’s History Month on March 11 around 4 PM. YOu receive a $250.00 stipend for this talk (45 min. – 1 hour)

    Are you available? Can you commit at this time? We provide the reception and a $200 reimbursement for your postcard announcement (you create and have printed) I have a contract and map of galleyr to forward to you…but I wanted to ask about the dates and to get a confirmation first….I hope you can do this. I need to know as soon as you can tell me for our Fine Arts Brochure deadline ASAP

    I will send that for your general info…we can create the official one later…let me know…I think the show would be wonderful and go over great on campus!

    I hope you are well.

    This is such poignant work, it really conveys emotion and inspires. Thank you for sharing your talents!

    Andrea, thank you so much for leading me to your site. I have
    become a true fan of your work. I love the places you remind me
    of and take me to for the first time in your tree series. They are
    mysterious and welcoming and dangerous and comforting all at
    the same time. And now the pears have won me over, too!
    Looking forward to seeing much more.

    Hello my name is michael,
    I am a newer artist and new to Chicago, and I understand your number one in the art community here, so I will ask you. Is there any viable way for me to display my paintings and like art to the public in show, without being a mainstream media icon? what are the avenues for a young artist to earn a reputation in this arena? Chicago.

  7. on 22 Nov 2009 at 3:35 pm7admin

    Hello Michael,

    Thanks for your inquiry and interest. Since you are new to Chicago, I suggest that you become involved in a few arts organizations. That is the fastest way to make contacts and becme involved in the Chicago art community.

    I suggest becoming a member of the Chicago Artists Coalition, http:http://caconline.org/ and also Anatomically Correct, http://www.anatomicallycorrect.org/

    Both (non-profit) organizations have a solid reputation for caring about artists and their work.

    Hello Mary,

    Thank you for your thought-provoking message about “Evening Birch.”

    I have always been intrigued by form and how the effects of light can create illusions that challenge the imagination. “Evening Birch” represents that “moment” of stillness that occurs in early evening. In this instance, the trees are not foreboding– they are guardians and the Stonehenge of the the forest. The four trees in the foreground might possibly be having a conversation, summoning the viewer into the forest to experience stillness and peace.

    Although I can’t express myself quite as beautifully as Mary or see the things she & you see I couldn’t help but think the dark spots on the trunks remind me of women’s lips. And, I thought that to be appropriate since it falls under “Women’s History Month”.
    It’s not just “lips”, they evoke many different feelings, to me and are very expressive. Some are smiling, sad, tense or exclamatory to name a few. I’m quite sure more people would view this is in completely different ways too. I sure look forward to seeing those views. Good job Andria!

    If I make it to the show, I now feel like I’ll have a better understanding of his developing works. Thanks for you review.

  11. on 23 Mar 2010 at 5:18 am11Andrea

    Thank you for your comments, Carol. If you make it to the exhibition, I would enjoy learning about your favorite Matisse artworks.

    Andrea

  12. on 23 Mar 2010 at 6:54 am12Andrea

    Dear Carol,

    What an incredible observation! Part of my infatuation with trees, especially Birch and Aspen, is due to how closely they resemble people. For instance, the overall form of tress can be suggestive of bodies. Sometime they are “leaning into” one another or their branches become entwined.

    In this particular painting, the dark markings on the tree trunks certainly resemble lips. And because of the justaposition of the trees, it appears that the trees are perhaps whispering to one another.

    I began painting nature after spending several years solely painting the figure, and I became intrigued with the relationship between nature and humanity. But that’s another topic…..

    Hi Andrea,
    Stunning work, you have allowed me to consider my own art in a more impressionistic way. I am so in awe of your abstract landscape and trees.

    Hi BettyAnn,
    I had a piece in a show at Amsterdam Whitney Gallery that just came down this week. The other show at Amsterdam Whitney, which will have four of my paintings, will be on view from May 2- June 3rd. The opening reception is May 8th. It looks like we will just miss each other! Enjoy New York- I ♡ NYC.

    Andrea Thank you for coming to our city of Alexandria, LA. I enjoyed your very informative color theory class. Also we all liked learning more about the wonderful Gamblin line of paints and products..Needless to say we were impressed. Sorry I missed the Sunday portion of your class. Glenda Kinnison Smith

    Je me suis sous le grande envie!

    Can’t think of a better artist and person to deserve this.

    Best wishes to you and yours,

    Richard

    PS – I’ ll be painting in NOLA next week.

    Many of your paintings cause me to tear up. I don’t know why but the same thing happens when I watch certain episodes of Blue Bloods and Law and Order: SVU. Suffice it to say that your work inspires emotional responses. I suppose that means that your works are kinetic, and not just docile or static. In other words, they seem to generate emotions in those who are affected by your work. And I am one of those people. I especially enjoy your work inspired by the 9/11/2001 events. Those paintings leave me a weeping mess. God Bless you and your talents!

  32. on 15 Dec 2014 at 9:49 am32andreaharris

    Hello Rick,

    Thank you for your comments and for bringing to light the emotional aspects of my artwork. You are incredible observant.

  33. on 25 Feb 2015 at 4:33 pm33Eve Ozer

    Hi Andrea,
    Carole Post, a good friend of mine, was just telling me about the amazing studio visit she had with you. She was really taken with your story, art and energy.
    She thought we should meet. I would love to come to your studio, see your art and meet you.

  34. on 03 Sep 2015 at 8:14 pm34Barbara Giroux

    Andrea,
    I’m starting my journey to find artwork for my home in Park Ridge and been drawn to many of your pieces. I would love to talk to you more about which of the many have drawn me in. I first saw them at Michael LaConte in the west loop. I love the birch trees and the leek still life are ones I am most drawn to. If you are available to give me some insight I would be most appreciative. Thank you
    Barbara

    Hi Barbara,

    I sent you a personal email yesterday because somehow I had not received an electronic notification of your message. Thank you for pursuing my artwork with Michael Laconte.

    Greetings!
    My name is john Cena from SC. I actually observed my wife has
    been viewing your website on my laptop and i guess she likes your
    piece of work, I’m also impressed and amazed to have seen your various
    works too, : ) You are doing a great job. I would like to receive
    further information about your piece of work and what inspires you. I
    am very much interested in the purchase of the piece (in subject field
    above) to surprise my wife. Kindly confirm the availability for
    immediate sales.
    Thanks and best regards,
    john.

    I hope you are well today?

    I am contacting you from House & Garden magazine to find out more about your work and if you have any exhibitions coming up for 2017? I came across your artwork online and I think that it would hugely appeal to our 568,000 affluent readers, who look to House & Garden for unique masterpieces to add a touch of novelty to their homes.
    Within House & Garden, we also have a regular editorial section covering art with a focus on upcoming exhibitions, up and coming styles and fantastic established artists.
    I am currently putting together an artist focused advertorial page called ‘The Art Edit’ for the October, November & December issues of the magazine. The page is a beautifully designed mood-board style spread that is used as a market place for small and independent artists, designers and brands to share their work with House & Garden readers.
    In every edition we invite a handful of new artists to join the pages. An insertion on ‘The Art Edit’ includes a high-res product shot of your work and a 40 word bio. I thought that your collection would be a lovely contrast to some of the work we are currently featuring. Prices for our introductory slot start at £295 (+VAT) per issue and your campaign would begin with our biggest issue of the year, our October issue (on sale 4th September).

    Could we perhaps schedule a call to discuss this further? Please do let me know a convenient time or, if it is easier, I can send across further information via email, including further rates and deadlines.

    Kindest regards,

    Pandora

    Greetings… I am Steven from Snyder Texas, I have been on the lookout for some artworks lately in regards to I and my wife’s anniversary which is just around the corner. I came across some of your works which i found quite impressive and intriguing. I must admit your doing quite an impressive job. You are undoubtedly good at what you do.

    With that being said, I would like to purchase some of your works as a surprise gift to my wife in honor of our upcoming wedding anniversary. It would be of help if you could send some pictures of your piece of works, with their respective prices and sizes, which are ready for immediate (or close to immediate) sales. My budget for this is within the price range of $1500 to $3000.

    I look forward to reading from you in a view to knowing more about your pieces of inventory. As a matter of importance, I would also like to know if you accept check as a means of payment.

    Regards
