About Andrea:
Born in Kirikiriroa/Hamilton, Andrea du Chatenier is a sculptor turned ceramicist. She has received numerous grants and awards for her accomplished and challenging work, including selection for the Sao Paulo Biennale, the Wallace Arts Trust Vermont Award, and the Portage Ceramics Residency Award at Guldagergaard, Denmark. In 2022 Andrea was awarded the Blumhardt Foundation Gift for her contribution to New Zealand Craft.
After completing the Tylee Cottage Artist Residency at the Sarjeant Gallery in 2004, Andrea set up studio in Whanganui. With her current practice du Chatenier has turned her focus to exploring the inherent qualities of the medium. The forms are abstracted and commonly stacked together as towering structures emphasizing the tactile and sensual properties of the ceramic surface.
