Artist Bio

Andrea Bisordi-McLaughlin is a Connecticut based painter whose peaceful landscapes transcend our modern world and explore the presence of place, and our personal connections to the past and present.

Artist Statement

​

I am a landscape painter drawn to solitary places, often with buildings, but never with figures. By removing the human presence, I invite both myself and the viewer to imagine stories of the past and form our own connections to the present.

Many of my subjects come from my home in Connecticut and the pristine landscapes of New England. More recently, my travels have introduced me to diverse environments and regional architecture, from ancient buildings and churches to regional homes. These places offer a sense of history and endurance that continues to shape my work.

Visually, I am drawn to contrasts: the hard lines of architecture against the organic forms of nature, cool colors alongside warmth, and the interplay of light and shadow. My curiosity about materials has led me to explore surface textures that build layers beneath the image, creating a tactile presence and sustained observation.

Ultimately, I paint places that endure with quiet dignity within our modern world of noise, fleeting trends and consumer culture.

​

If you are drawn to quiet places, lived-in beauty, and the allure of color and light, I invite you to explore my work. Step into these paintings and experience the sense of calm, reflection, and connection they are intended to inspire.
