Oils & Pastels
Art has been part of Patti Andre’s life from when she was a young girl. Patti has lived in many different parts of the United States and has traveled to many countries around the world. An enthusiastic nature lover and traveler, she is always observing, learning and growing.
As an instructor, Patti is exceptional. She teaches oil and pastel workshops at Fechin Art Workshops, Loveland Art Academy as well as teaching privately.
Patti has been a professional artist for over 35 years. Her work has sold extensively throughout the United States and abroad, and she has participated in many single and group exhibitions. She works out of her studio in Loveland, Colorado.
“Alive” is an understatement for the vibrant, animated quality of Patti Andre’s award winning oil paintings. An element of tranquility combined with unrivaled talent has enabled this award-winning artist to seek out what motivates her and exploit her desire to create." (Deeborah Robson, American Artist Magazine)
Patti has studied under many wonderful professionals: Richard Schmid, Kim English, Scott Christensen, Ralph Olberg, Bruno Lucchesi, Nita Engle, Hollis Williford, George Strickland, Jim Wilcox, Albert Handell, Joyce Pike, Matt Smith and Dee Clements. Patti also studied the orangutans in Borneo, for anthropologist Birute Galdikas.
