Andrea G. Hardeman, M.S. is an expressive abstract artist, poet, and bestselling author. Creating a space that allows others to feel seen and see themselves more clearly is at the core of her every endeavor. It is in this spirit that she launched Healing Through Art Workshops in 2022, where participants achieve an emotional release. Andrea began writing poetry as a form of healing and emotional processing in 1998. Creative expression through poetry and painting is how she excavates her deepest joy, pain, hopes, and fears. She established her brand Papillon Skies in 2020. She has been featured in the 2023 NBA All-Star Players’ Lounge, SLUG Magazine, the Adobe Blog, Voyage Utah!, and The Black Angle. She is also a member of UBLAC.
Andrea’s work is currently on display in the France Davis Utah Black Archive, at Urban Arts Gallery, and at 9th and 9th Book and Music Gallery in Salt Lake City, Utah. She has authored two collections of poetry, love the journey: POETRY AND ARTWORK SELECTIONS and Queer, in addition to a guided affirmation journal titled Getting Grounded.
