ANDREA KEMLER

Artist's Background

Throughout my life, the right and left sides of my brain have competed for ascendancy.  My undergraduate degree is in English from Georgetown University.  I have a Masters degree in Architecture from the University of Virginia and an MBA from Yale. Before graduate school, I worked for a Japanese television network.   I practiced architecture for a number of years in Washington DC and worked as an investment banker in New York City.  I have lived and studied in Japan and Ireland.  After withdrawing from the paid work force in my early forties to become a mother, I took a number of landscape painting studio courses at the Silvermine School of Art in Connecticut.

All of my artwork is created using a large format scanner as my “camera”.  I begin each piece by placing materials directly on the flatbed in a purposeful arrangement. The scanned image is then captured digitally on my computer.

I began working in this medium in the spring of 2002, using only natural materials – primarily flowers, leaves and vines.  By 2004 I started working with many found objects. A year later I began layering multiple images digitally and thereby started to create pieces significantly more complex, and usually larger than the dimensions that the scanner allowed.

My work is available as limited edition archival prints on paper and canvas.
