Andrea wedell

​

Andrea Wedell is a California-born abstract painter whose work has been shaped by a lifelong engagement with art, architecture, and the visual world. The daughter and granddaughter of artists and architects, she grew up in a family where making art was taken seriously and where beauty, balance, and creative expression were an integral part of life.

Her grandfather, sculptor Alexander Stoller, had a particularly strong influence on her. When he sold a portion of his land in the Berkshire Mountains to fund the casting of one of his monumental marble sculptures in bronze, the work was acquired by the American Embassy in Paris. Andrea attended the opening ceremony, an experience that helped ignite what would become a decades-long connection to France.

Soon afterward, she left her native California for Paris, where she would live for 27 years. During that time, she studied for more than a decade with Beaux-Arts-trained painters Michèle Massiou and Jacqueline Guillermain and developed the foundation of the painting practice she continues today.

Andrea began exhibiting regularly at the Grand Marché d’Art Contemporain in Paris and later became a permanent artist with Galerie BE Espace, where she exhibited for ten years. Her work has also been published in France by Les Éditions Arcadia.

After returning to California in 2013, Andrea continued exhibiting throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. She was a featured artist at Toadfish Contemporary Gallery in Sausalito, exhibited with Desta Gallery in Mill Valley and Gray Loft Gallery in Oakland, and was part of the SFMOMA Artists Gallery in San Francisco.

Her work has continued to expand beyond the Bay Area, including an exhibition at Daniel Tucker Gallery in Telluride, Colorado, in 2026.

Andrea holds a Bachelor of Arts from UCLA. She currently lives and works in Colorado.
