Visual Artist E. Andrea Klann fuses realism and the imagined using oils on canvas, creating figurative, landscape and interior works that capture emotion and surprise with the unexpected. Her compositions have a theatrical sense as she explores themes of identity, memory and the temporal, with invented figures, symbolic narration and unexpected fragments - she puts both heart and soul into each painting.
Represented in Vancouver by Kurbatoff Gallery her recent solo exhibition Rarae Aves & Other Marvelous Creatures showed at Kurbatoff Gallery Vancouver May, 2024.
A painting and drawing instructor at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, she also offers independent workshops in 'Cultivating Creativity' through artistic exploration.
In an earlier publishing career she wrote and worked with publishers such as The National Post, The Economist Intelligence Unit and The Guardian UK and Observer UK.
Her home and studio is on a rocky and forested island in Howe Sound, eighteen nautical miles from Vancouver, in a 1920 bungalow she and her partner saved and barged to the island in 2006. A creative paradise.
