Welcome to the online gallery of Andrea J Smith.

An Australian painter working and teaching in the classical style of Contemporary Realism.

We are happy to announce the opening of the Harlem Studio of Art's newest outpost in Rome, Italy. The ATELIER CANOVA, located in the heart of the historic center of Rome- once the studio of famed sculptor Antonio Canova.

Andrea J. Smith's work is derived from a classical tradition, but translates into a contemporary context. Her influences are varied and range from the simple, ordered compositions of the Early Renaissance artists, to the broad textural boldness of the colour field painters.

Andrea's paintings can be viewed on this website, as well as at her representative gallery, Forum Gallery. For information about her paintings please contact Forum Gallery. You may read more about what has been said about her in the media, or please contact Andrea directly.

In 2003 Andrea co-founded and is currently the director of the Manhattan atelier, The Harlem Studio of Art. From 2005-2007, she taught periodically at The New York Academy of Art in Tribeca. In 2008 she founded her Italian location, Atelier Canova, and is now based in Rome. The Atelier Canova focusses on the "Cours De Dessin" but also features a wide variety of specialized workshops that run from March to October. Please refer to the Atelier canova website for more information.
