About the Artist

Andrea LaHue’s goal as an artist is to paint our time with virtuosity.  As with most artists, she is inspired by the day to day and her work is in constant evolution.  For LaHue, it’s about simplifying the view without compromising the details, making life less complicated and contrived, instead, flowing in a light hearted, straight forward and beautiful way.  Skillfully engaging paint as a vehicle for channeled inspiration, LaHue allows the full breadth of subject, emotion and meaning to inhabit her paintings.  Each painting captures the moment and dimensions of life, allowing others to come closer. 

LaHue’s main body of work is expressed in oils, a medium she utilizes in a classical tradition modified by a fertile, current edge.  Her Flowers are born of natures calling and the meditative quality of the seasons and passage of time.  What’s inside, what’s inevitable, what’s archetypical?  Constantly pushing up, through the ground, heralding the circle of life and its simple, astounding, transient force.  Her Totem Animal Energy series is her reflection of personalities and ways of being found in the people around her.  LaHue’s Energy series shows the hyper reality she believes exists, the energy and dimensions around and within us we perceive, yet cannot see.  The Cityscapes are born out of LaHue’s outward experience on her daily journeys where the routine is highlighted, beautified and imbued with a transient quality, heightening the now.  The "Cross-Country Random Acts of Flowers Project" is LaHue's latest endevour. Painting giant flowers on "for lease" buildings on 'Main Streets" across the United States of America and painting oils from experiences of the journey..

Andrea LaHue was born in Vicenza Italy to a US Military family.  Living in Europe and the United States, LaHue was exposured to the most revered Western artworks in the world, from a very young age.

Painting all her life and calling Los Angeles her home, LaHue has shown in New York, Los Angeles and Paris.
