Art + Artists

Combining chaos with simplicity, Andrea Vail finds balance in the manipulation of materials. Using a variety of media, her work reads like journal entries riddled with nonsense. Vail creates readymades, installations and paintings that explore the personal memories, semiotics, and similarities within landscapes. During her residency, Vail will invite the community to participate in a collaborative work of art and continue her exploration of found materials. Vail is an adjunct professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and serves on the board of Charlotte Arts Catalyst. She has exhibited her work locally, including UNC Charlotte, Hart Witzen Gallery, and has been published in Surface Design Journal.
