Andrea Pearlman is originally from Hartford, CT, but has lived in Vermont since the mid-70's. After graduating from Pratt Institute in 1974, she and her husband George, headed to Vermont for the quality of life and to be close to their mentors, James Gahagan and Pat deGogorza, artists living in Woodbury. Under the tutorship of James Gahagan, a student of Hans Hofmann, she explored the inherent dynamic push and pull of nature, and the means to express this experience in painting. Using charcoal and drawing from the model, she uses overlapping planes to suggest two and three dimensional rhythms, attempting to capture the essence of the pose. Depending where you look in a drawing or a painting, different things activate. Andrea primarily paints in oil on canvas, but also hooks rugs, using wool strips when "painting" in fiber. The paintings, the drawings and the rugs, all feed each other to express plastic space, a sense of volume and movement.
