Andrea Saltzman is a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based artist working across landscape, still life, and figurative painting. Her subjects range from mundane knitting needles and museum specimens to expansive horizons and watchful animals. Though varied, these series share an abiding interest in fragility and force—in what is preserved and what is remembered.

Her MFA thesis at Lesley University, Still Life and Death at Harvard, investigated natural history archives and the human impulse to collect, categorize, and hold on. Saltzman has exhibited at the Boston Young Contemporaries Exhibition, the Boston Children’s Museum, and in juried exhibitions nationally.
