Andrea Orr Clague | Figurative painter

Traditionally trained at Pensacola Christian College in Florida, Andrea Orr Clague received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Commercial Art in 2006, and a Master of Fine Arts in 2009.

While at PCC, Clague learned the importance of accurate drawing, strong value patterns and variety in edgework, essentials for a successful painting, under the masterful teaching of her mentor and instructor, Brian Jekel.

Clague’s paintings reveal her fascination with light and the beauty it bestows upon seemingly ordinary objects.

Clague credits her talent as a gift from God, and desires to use her art to bring glory to Him.

Her desire is that her paintings will connect to the hearts of those who view them, drawing others to a fuller recognition of the goodness of God and the wonder of His love.

Believing that the human eye holds the key to engaging the soul and has the ability to move the heart, Clague’s goal is to communicate a message of hope, love, and beauty to those who see her work.

Clague’s work reveals a deep fascination with light and the elusive beauty it casts on ordinary subjects.

Her portfolio features intimate still lifes (like kitchen items and fruit), thoughtful portraiture, and landscapes.

She approaches painting as a spiritual gift, aiming to glorify God and invite viewers to see the wonder and goodness of creation.

She often works utilizing both alla prima (wet-on-wet) life studies and larger studio compositions.

Andrea Orr Clague is married to fellow painter Adam Clague and work together as professional oil painters based in the Kansas City area.
