Her work bore witness to her experience of surviving concentration camps during the Holocaust and her art was a kaddish for those who did not survive. She communicated that experience to others in ways that were beautiful enough for people to endure. Rather than aestheticizing violence, she used the language of art to engage others. Her mixed-media collages, they don’t preach, yet they convey her profound experience and enduring resilience. Shown above: Cahana’s painting, Waiting for the Magic Bird, acrylic and mixed media on canvas, 84 x 80 inches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614885683423-PW2QVCWT2NE6YSIUSWPG/Nevada+proving+ground.jpg Curatorial collaborations I worked with Emmet Gowin on exhibitions of his photographs at two different venues. His intimate portraits of his family life broadened the conversation about photography in the 1970s. When I hosted a mini-retrospective of his work at the List Gallery, I especially admired his ability to shift his modes of representation. The empathy that he communicated in his family portraits later became apparent in his aerial photographs of sites where human intervention have created toxic conditions.. For instance, he documented the Nevada Proving Ground where we’ve detonated hundreds of atomic explosions, turning the landscape into a kind of moonscape, forever altering the geology of the land. And then, in more recent works, he provides wonderful, intimate, microcosms of nature: he’s inventoried hundreds of moths from Panama, many of them endangered species, and some of them never photographed before. I try to emulate such imaginative elasticity, empathy, and dedication. On the right is Inheritance, a work that took inspiration from Gowin’s aerial perspectives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614881351776-ID7Y4HEFJY4ASC6R1QLP/Resilience.sm.crop.jpg Curatorial collaborations Orit Hofshi and I attended The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts together many years ago and we both studied woodcut printmaking together. She’s gone on to become an internationally renowned sculptor and printmaker who integrates two-dimensional and three-dimensional practices in her work. After she showed here I went back to my studio and made a six-foot-wide wood carving. It was very different from her work aesthetically, but she had reawakened my love of wood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614879318640-V34YYTPSU4RIJS39Y4OM/14.Homage+to+Bearden+and+Cezane.2100px.jpg Curatorial collaborations I have taken inspiration from Romare Bearden who, in turn, took inspiration from Cezanne, among others. The above art work is my own homage to Bearden. I am curious about how to harmonize different influences–how one aesthetic can help transform another. For example, I am fascinated by the way introducing fabric into a work might change the way we experience space. Or introducing a different medium like pastel into a painting can evoke a shift in perception. Conversations between different aesthetics, inspirations, and media can echo the way consciousness is multilayered. It’s not unified by a single mode or look or source. It’s an elastic process of shifts through which we see, revise, and recreate the world around us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614879554337-FZL4HSZLVMY91LDI4LXU/Andrea+and+Sedrick.jpg Curatorial collaborations I had the pleasure of working with Sedrick Huckaby on two exhibitions of his work. His quilt-inspired work and dense, painterly surfaces, and connection to community continue to inspire me. In the photo above, we are standing in front of one of his mural-sized canvases, Winter, from the series A Love Supreme 2001–2009. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614881475149-Z65N9ELLPLAP3VENCAPJ/Screen+Shot+2021-03-04+at+1.06.05+PM.png Curatorial collaborations I grew up admiring my great-grandmother’s crazy quilt, which she made with a circle of friends in the late 1800s. For the past 30 years, I’ve been a member of a quilting group that meets regularly to quilt and share insights and support along with repurposed fabric. Cornucopia, the collage shown above left, was one of my first works in which elements of fabric played an important role. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614881937590-QC5LY7QX1LI6D26KP0MD/5ba962b97a0183a39ec00c509b910fca.jpg Curatorial collaborations Since I can remember admiring notable artists, I have admired Charles Burchfield, especially his late watercolors. Works like the one above convey nature’s mystery and dynamism. Burchfield was interested in pattern (he designed wall paper for a living), and explored commonalities between music and art. I often think of his distinctive and rhythmic approach to space and mark making. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614882770258-88YI93TGGND94IWPNYUF/image-asset.jpeg Curatorial collaborations - To view my interview with Robert Storr about Rackstraw Downes, visit: https://www.swarthmore.edu/list-gallery/exhibition-videos Thanks to Don Kimes, I had the good fortune to study with Rackstraw Downes in graduate school. Years later, I was able to curate Rackstraw Downes: A Wider View, a mini-survey of his work for the List Gallery, Swarthmore College. His painting has always been attentive to specificity, structure, proportion, and the complex relationships between humans and the environment. As both a critic and artist, he has always been a paragon of excellence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614883834122-3W6Y0P3JTQXNTUC1OOXI/Andrea%27s+idea+wall.jpg Curatorial collaborations - Idea wall (winter 2021): a quilt still in process with a neurology theme. I have been part of a quilting group for 30 years. Because of this, I fabric scraps were always in my studio and I ended up incorporating them into my collage art works. I am fascinated by the way fabric implicitly conveys communal values and resources. I admire the expressive abstract quilts made by Gee’s Bend, Alabama artists and am inspired by the way their designs embody jazz rhythms, improvisational strategies, and creative resilience. In 2018, I began researching and writing about quilts and etchings by Mary Lee Bendolph, one of Gee's Bend's most distinguished artists. Getting to know Mary Lee and her family, especially Rubin Bendolph Jr. and his sister, Essie Bendolph Pettway, reinforced my love of the way fabric provides a dynamic and resonant visual experience that cannot be reproduced digitally. I am inspired by many repurposed materials, be they discarded woodcut prints, outgrown clothing, or handwoven scarves, and I pay attention to the way materials can convey specific cultural associations. But because we wear fabric every day, we have a particularly visceral response to it. We intuitively grasp whether it is machine made or hand sewn, frivolous or frugal, new or antique. Many of the materials I use were given to me by other artists, educators, close friends, and family members. Synthesizing “high” and “low,” past and present, self with community, I hope to provide visual journeys that are infused with empathy, memory, and reconnection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614886077708-4BM43UE8BCZTPC8DHE09/Screen+Shot+2021-03-04+at+2.26.33+PM.png Curatorial collaborations Cezanne.

This edition of 20 prints was created during my residency with the Brandywine Workshop and Archives. I was offered the residency in April, 2020, just after the Covid-19 pandemic began spreading through the Philadelphia region. The above lithograph was inspired in part by the Crum Woods, one of the last forested areas in Delaware County, PA, and a refuge for many during this era of social distancing. Over the last 30 years, I have seen this landscape impacted by highway construction, boundary walls, graffiti, and runoff. In 2016, wooded areas along a floodplain were clear-cut in order to reconstruct a train overpass. When conservationists replanted the area, they encased saplings in plastic tubes in order to protect them from deer and other fauna. Sometimes, at dusk, the tubes along the floodplain can look like tombstones. At other times, the tubes seem to catch fire with sunlight or overflow with new growth. During the early months of the pandemic, I began to sketch these tubes as well as other features in the landscape. As I did so, shocking images were crowding the news: people on ventilators dying of Covid, wildfires raging on the West Coast, George Floyd suffocating in police custody, and Black Lives Matter protests throughout the country. Amid the disturbing parade of imagery, President Trump's border wall stood out as a metaphor for the politics of division. From the relative safety of the Crum Woods, I imagined a different kind of mindset—one that can both redress suffering and cultivate renewal. I work primarily in collage: painting, cutting, tearing, and recombining varied materials, often adhering them to carved wood panels. I improvise and experiment, searching for resonant images, evocative relationships, and layered surfaces that evoke nature's beauty and complexity. As a quilter for more than 30 years, I have also been especially interested in fabric, patterns, and women's craft traditions that reflect the interconnection of nature and culture Separation and Renewal is based on several collage sketches I created using photographic elements, prints, painted papers, and scraps of fabric with floral patterning and bold stitching. After selecting one concept, I traced essential elements of the composition onto a sheet of Mylar, creating a template and color guide for Nicole Donnelly to use when making the paper for my print edition. I selected warm white, grey, and red pigments and asked Nicole to apply the pulp using a combination of methods that would animate the print with specificity, liquidity, and dynamism. I also traced different components of my collaged sketch to create three Mylar layers—one for each color used in the print (yellow ochre, red, and blue). As I did so, I consulted often with Galen Gibson, who used the Mylar layers to create lithography plates and masterfully printed them at his studio in Northern Liberties. Early on in this process, I departed from my initial concept and experimented with lithographic pencils and inks. I hoped to create a varied ecosystem of textures, from puddles of brushed ink and acid-lift erasures to staccato areas of cross hatching, sprayed textures, and meandering lines inspired by embroidery. Like other artists completing Brandywine residencies during the Covid-19 pandemic, I primarily worked in my own studio. However, I was fortunate to meet not only with Nicole Donnelly and Galen Gibson, but also with Allan Edmunds and Gustavo Garcia at Brandywine Workshop. I am grateful to all of them for their expertise and generous support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614707098355-EHMDUNVYQ0H6SNJPWQXN/Division+and+Renewal.blue+layer+mylar.jpg Brandywine Workshop Residency Separation, 2020, ink on Mylar, 25 1/2 x 36 3/4 inches, preparatory sketch for Separation and Renewal (see above) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614718994484-87IQ3BNC7CYTFXWJSTYI/Crum+meadow.jpg Brandywine Workshop Residency Crum Meadow, spring 2020—one of many photographs I took when developing my print concept. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614826044180-ZNZO2LELI0Z0IQX5DDXP/Yellow+and+red+layer.jpeg Brandywine Workshop Residency The print after red and yellow layers were printed and before the blue layer was added https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614826216673-XAR8IHN6B44QEQWVOPJ3/Print+concept+a.jpg Brandywine Workshop Residency A collaged sketch created in tandem with my print concept https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614826471139-PXXZL8O2GEDMVHV9L1UA/Crum+woods+reflection.jpg Brandywine Workshop Residency Crum Creek and Woods, Summer 2020 https://www.andreapackard.net/biography daily 0.75 2026-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584824a9893fc0103f10bb16/1614874512097-43RHWP4AHA96L2I0L498/Andrea+Packard+at+Gallery.jpg Biography
