Andrea G. Hardeman, M.S.

Painting is space where the world fades away. It’s just me in my bare feet and even the music in the background eventually drops away. I’m immersed in the present moment. Notifications are off, and I dial in the canvas and uncover what it wants to be. Sometimes I take breaks and sing using my brush as the mic and the canvases as my audience. (I’m usually working on multiple art pieces in a single session or at least using a canvas that I’m unsatisfied with as a scratch pad.)

I love creating from poetry to painting to writing and playing songs on my guitar. It feels good to sit in a space of peace and joy and translate those feelings into something others can connect with and enjoy. Part of my life purpose is to help others feel seen and see themselves more clearly.

I truly believe that art can help you heal and that incorporating meaningful art into your home and spaces elevates the atmosphere and how you show up. Creativity has been a balm and magical experience for me in so many ways, and I love helping others find their creative spark during the intuitive painting classes I teach. Thank you for visiting papillonskies.com. I’m excited to share my art and heart with you!
