Hello, there!

I’d given away all my art supplies for free by 2017 because I wasn’t an artist. Some of the supplies were early 90s vintage and in excellent shape. 2020 taught me many things, including how to let go and step into creative flow. The expressive artist within was awoken and the journey continues to unfold.

Generations

Bestselling Author, Oh Yeah!

I’ve been writing poetry since 1998 and after encouragement over the decades from my best friend love the journey: POETRY AND ARTWORK SELECTIONS was published in 2022. Being vulnerable in such a public way can be nerve-racking, but my story is bigger than me. I need others to know that they are not alone because I’ve spend many decades feeling alone or like the only one. Someone has felt what you feel and there is strength in knowing that. You are seen and you are love (read that last part again; it’s not a typo).

Asé.

Intuitive Painting 1:1 Sessions and Group Classes

It’s not about painting something pretty. It’s about giving yourself permission to be imperfect and to play.

Andrea created a safe space for my feminine energy to explore and express my without limitations or judgement. I painted my interpretation of a dream I recently had that provided lots of insight to how I want to show up in the world.

    So I'm reading your book and already I'm dying of laughter. I had those same thoughts! Doesn't everyone just admire other women? lol.

    Beauty n Pain grabbed me from first glance, Generations was a real eye-opener for perspective and the efficiency of that piece was amazing!

    -Bryan

  • love the journey

    Her artwork radiates growth and healing. Her words strike chords buried so deeply within they cause the soul to vibrate and move with new fluidity.

    [The] colors are so vibrant and the quality is really good too. It literally looks like an art piece…

    Every time I scroll through there are new paintings I want to buy... whimsy, expanse, count the stars, power to create, generations is powerful. I love Impressionism and illustration.

    Your book is absolutely amazing, and I felt like I was journeying with you. It’s so relatable.

    -E.C.

  • love the journey

    It takes a special kind of someone to share their pain, heartbreak and completely transparent journey and perspectives in prose and through artwork.

    -Monica

  • Queer

    Queer is a mediation on coming out through poetry, art, and drawings.

    I was inspired by your book! I don’t meet many people who are doing both a career and an art career, so I really liked reading your thoughts so well presented.

Amazing way to round out the @utahqff with @savrodgersfilm @anderfinn and @rsinmyname from @chasingamydoc So grateful that they flew out for the festival and honored to have introduced their film that I am very passionate about. @catpalmerphotography moderated the Q&A. And in this clip, Alex is responding to a question I submitted.

My solo exhibition opens this Wednesday as well. Artist reception on 10/19 before the play (you don’t need tickets to play to come to the reception or see the exhibition while it’s up). My exhibit thematically ties into the play, but they both stand alone. You can come to the exhibit anytime during regular business areas or when the play is being performed (doors open 1 hour before curtain call). https://www.saltlakeactingcompany.org/actor-library/item/1663-andrea-g-hardeman See the play as well: https://www.saltlakeactingcompany.org/shows-ticketing/season-lineup/item/1737-whitelisted . . . @saltlakeactingco #artexhibition #saltlakecity #utahartists
✅ 6 month exhibit Excited to drop off one of my new art pieces @adobe in a couple weeks. Phœnix Storm is making it’s first public debut. It’ll also be nice to have one less large art piece stashed in my house—a little more space. Thanks, Adobe! 😆 . . . #abstractart #adobelife #siliconslopes #utahartist @adobelife
The story behind the art: In your darkest storms, the dawn will eventually come. Every storm eventually loses steam, and the waters will calm once more. So, don’t lose hope when the waters seem turbulent and high. . . . #newart #abstractart #oceanspray #saltlakecityartist #abstractartist #resilience #hope
Excited for my upcoming shows at @urbanartsgallery in SLC and @museumsunionstation in Ogden that start next month. Come check out my art along with the other artists’ work. 2 of my pieces have never been on display before and 1 of this is having its second debut after being featured in a Juneteenth art show over the summer. . . . #artshow #utahartist #ogden #saltlakecity #artforsale
