| ARTIST STATEMENT It’s all about the body language. With careful attention to composition and design, my work celebrates my delight in how people visually and quietly communicate. Whether it is a slight smirk, an intense concentration, or soulful eyes, each of my subjects subtly tells a story through his posture and expression. Depending on the desired affect, I use anywhere from one to dozens of pencils, layered and blended seamlessly. A colored base often peeks through the finished work, and provides unity under an expansive palette. A variety of techniques pushes the limits on ways to apply colored pencil, which in turn, through textures and color moods, brings the story to life. BIOGRAPHY Portrait artist, Andria Burchett, has a background in fashion merchandising, but since 1990 has been concentrating on her colored pencil and graphite creations. She has won numerous awards in the Fox Valley area, and currently is an active member in the Colored Pencil Society of America. Andie continues to take on commissioned pieces, teaches drawing and colored pencil classes from her home studio, and conducts workshops in surrounding galleries and art leagues. |
