Scottsdale’s Gallery Andrea showcases the work of mother-daughter duo.
Gallery Andrea has been a staple of the local art scene in Old Town Scottsdale since 2004.
Andrea de Kerpely-Zak has been creating and exhibiting her mesmerizing artworks for over 35 years and her pieces are internationally collected. Known for colorful and delicate impressionist flowers, her paintings explore the emotion of a particular moment of the day and symbolize freedom and healing, while examining the idea and the effect of the light. She utilizes acrylic paint on canvas that she then waters down, creating a watercolor effect. This allows her to work quickly on multiple paintings at a time on subjects ranging from flowers and desert plants to landscapes.
Gallery Andrea features artwork by both de Kerpely-Zak and Zakrzewski, in addition to the work of several prominent artists from around the world. The pieces showcase a diverse selection of artwork and styles including floral, abstract, figurative, landscape, and sculpture.
As a complementary project, Zakrzewski recently launched her own fashion line, Artsyandreaz Floral Fashion. Featuring wearable art, including dresses, leggings, and scarfs incorporating the mother and daughter’s floral artwork, the fashions debuted this past October at Phoenix Fashion Week.
Gallery Andrea participates in the weekly Thursday Scottsdale ArtWalk from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. each week. The gallery is located at 7019 E. Main St., Scottsdale and is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and is closed on Sunday. For more information about Gallery Andrea, visit them online at artandrea.com.

Like Mother, Like Daughter Andrea Zakrzewski brings wildflowers into the next generation

Magazine Interview in Uptown Magazine about andreazfloralfashion
read interview below:
Andrea J. Zakrzewski has been surrounded by art since childhood. Her mother, Andrea de Kerpely-Zak — a Hungarian artist with a flair for painting wildflowers — is her inspiration.
Just before Kerpely-Zak left Hungary, she picked a bouquet of wildflowers and painted them, symbolizing freedom and healing. Zakrzewski has based her career as an artist off of her mother’s creation.
“My mother has mentored and shaped me as a fine artist, and I hope to leave a legacy of her art in my works,” Zakrzewski says.
In 2004, the duo opened Gallery Andrea in the heart of the Arts District.
Their artwork is available on canvas and, more recently, on clothes. Last year, Zakrzewski launched her wearable art line, Floral Fashion (www.andreazfloralfashion.com). The collection allows patrons to don Zakrzewski and her mother’s vibrant wildflowers on skirts, leggings, dresses, purses and scarves.
“I wanted people to be able to wear our ‘healing flowers’ and spread joy to others they encounter,” she explains.
In addition to your mother, what other artists inspire you? I am also a huge fan of all the impressionists, including [Claude] Monet and Vincent van Gogh. Have you always been passionate about fashion? I have been interested in fashion since I was exposed to it as a model and pageant contestant. My love of painting goes hand-in-hand with fashion. What do you love most about living in the Valley of the Sun? The beautiful scenery, including the sunsets and gorgeous mountains that I love to hike. We have such beautiful wildflowers, which I love to paint plein air (outdoors).

How to Hang Art
Posted on June 14, 2017 //
Before you start hanging your new art I have some tips on how to approach hanging them:
Tip 1) Make sure the artwork is big enough for the space, art that is too small will create an effect like the art is getting lost on the wall.
Tip 2) Hang the Art at Eye Level Consider the space you need to fill (from above a credenza to the ceiling) then place it 6 – 8″ above the piece of furniture.

8 Must-Read Tips Before Buying Art for Your Living Room
Posted on May 29, 2017 //
Read this article for tips on hanging art in your living room in the huffingtonpost
1. “Buy what you love. Fine art should never be a ‘maybe’ and should thrill you every single day.”
2. “Consider a contemporary piece for a traditional space and vice versa. It shakes it up and adds visual interest.”
3. “Don’t try to match your art to the room. Instead, contrast and complement the space with art so it works with the room and doesn’t get lost.”
by Andrea de Kerpely-Zak
4. “Do splurge on quality custom framing, museum glass and fabric mats. You’ll be glad you did, as it will elevate the art in all cases.”
