"...deep down inside of us sleeps a longing to live nature as intensely as Andrea Blanar paints it."

Collette Bourgoin, Director/Curator, Restigouche Gallery, Campbellton.

 

"Blanar observes all facets of a scene and paints in the plants and creatures, the ebb and flow of tides and the traces of human activity that she senses there. Influences as diverse as European religious iconography, Maritime folk art traditions, ancient artifacts and traditional landscape painting inform the work and show evidence of the experiences of the traveler / artist who created them."

Dawn White Beatty, Burlington Arts Centre

 

"Returning again and again to visit the land in its seasonal variations, (Andrea Blanar) has probed the mystical and natural worlds and forged a spiritual alliance that parallels the ceaseless ebb and flow of the tidal cycle."

Marie Maltais,
UNB Arts Centre
