Andrea Kendall

“The process of painting excites me as a visual recording of experience, where layers of the process are not all apparent, but influence the final result just as much as that which is obvious. This allows the viewer to bring their own interpretations and history to the work, broadening the picture beyond the frame.

I work with oil paint in reactive and unplanned approach, using methods such as pouring, spraying and blow-drying to create the composition. My process is driven by the interaction of layers as they build and the visual history that is recorded, disguised, re-revealed and merged to create the final result.

Recent work includes oil on wood panel and oil on canvas with embroidery elements. The work is composed of atmospheric and organic forms but are altogether abstract, creating a dialog with the viewer that is entirely subjective.”

Andrea Kendall graduated from UC Davis with a bachelor’s degree in Studio Art in 2001. She lives in Sonoma County.

An Artist’s reception will be held at The Spinster Sisters on April 10th from 5 to 7 pm.
