Andrea Geller

Andrea Geller lives and works in Bergen County, NJ. She developed an interest in painting at a very young age and decided to pursue a career in art, studying painting at Cornell University and Parsons School of Design. Early in her career she worked as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer, with such prestigious clients as the New York Times, The Washington Post, Psychology Today and Random House. Geller completed her MFA in painting from William Paterson University and has been teaching studio art on the college level since 1997. Inspired by Expressionism and the Bay Area Figurative Movement she is interested in the universality of humans in their environments. In her paintings, she explores gestural figures in motion on land and in water, and proxemics, the space between people as they move. Recent work has focused on Water, the Bath, and Pools. She loves to travel and incorporates her experiences into her work. Andrea Geller is represented by Emerge Gallery in Saugerties, NY and most recently was included in ‘Personal Geographies’ at New York Artists Equity on Broome Street, NYC.
