Sarah Bouchard Gallery will present Andrea Sulzer’s second solo exhibition of eclectic paintings with the gallery from Saturday, Aug. 22, through Sept. 27. Some of Sulzer’s paintings exude fearlessness and bold energy. Others emanate tenderness and calm. All encourage slow looking and a kind of exquisite “getting lost.”

Sulzer studied fine arts at Smith College in the late 1970s and early ’80s. She received a B.A. in French from New York University, and master’s degrees from Columbia University (education) and the University of Maine (forest biology). After working as an instructor of English as a second language, a lab instructor in plant physiology, a field ecologist and a scientific illustrator, in 2004 she received her M.F.A. from Glasgow School of Art.

Sulzer has been awarded individual artist fellowships from Maine Arts Commission, Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation, among others. Her work has been exhibited nationally and abroad and can be found in public and private collections, including Portland Museum of Art, Bates College Museum of Art, Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Colby College Museum of Art and SYZYGY – JoAnn Hickey Collection.
