Caitlin Andrejova is a Central New York artist that specializes in Oil Painting and Graphite works with an exploration of mixed media.

She attended Mohawk Valley Community College and upon earning Associate’s Degrees in Illustration and Fine Arts, she transferred to SUNY New Paltz where she received a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts: Drawing and Painting. Post-graduating, Caitlin has exhibited in various galleries such as the BAU Gallery, Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts, and The Other Side Gallery. 

My artwork serves as a reminder to cherish moments in one’s life that may be gone in an instant. I use oil paint and graphite in limited palettes to capture these moments with varying intensity and focus. Much like how a memory fades and only captures important elements, my drawings and paintings use classical techniques to showcase the important details while leaving what is forgotten within negative spaces. I reflect upon and explore the complexities seen within the minute moments in our everyday life.

By playing with figures and representational imagery I create the scenes of everyday life that offer time for introspection. I explore the duality present within life’s highs and lows. The calm moments which we forget to acknowledge as time rushes away from us, moments where we appreciate and show love for what makes our life one that is well lived. In contrast to the grief and sadness that takes over and fills us completely until we are overflowing with emotions and forced to slow down and just be.
