Andrea Mortson

Andrea Mortson is a painter and now, collage artist who has lived in Sackville, New
Brunswick since 1997. Her work questions the role of images and artists in the complex
relationship between individual and collective experience.

Andrea’s paintings were included in Oh, Canada, Mass MoCA’s survey of contemporary
Canadian art and Le Projet Peinture, Galerie de l’UQAM’s “snapshot of painting in
Canada”. She is a recipient of the Marie Hélène Allain Fellowship Award and has been
longlisted for both the Sobey Art Award and the RBC Investments Painting Competition.
Her work is in private and corporate collections across Canada as well as the Canada
Council and New Brunswick Art Banks; Confederation Centre Art Gallery, PEI; Nova
Scotia Art Gallery, Halifax, NS; and Owens Art Gallery, Sackville, NB.

She recently incorporated analog collage into her practice and uses it to play with the
fiction that an image can ever be static and entirely understood. Her collages have been
exhibited across Canada and in the spring of 2024, they were part of an international
exhibition in Valladolid, Spain, Los Raros/Las Raras: New Narratives in Contemporary
Collage.
