Riverside Gallery is proud to present Currents of Being, a solo exhibition by New Jersey–based artist Andrea Geller, whose evocative paintings explore the deeply personal and collective relationship between people and water.

From serene beaches and bustling pools to glacial edges and quiet baths, Geller captures how water moves through our lives—visually, emotionally, and politically. Her dynamic use of color, gesture, and composition invites viewers into moments of stillness, energy, and transformation. In each painting, she brings forward the sensory richness of sound, light, and motion, encouraging reflection on our connection to the natural world.

In her latest series, Geller shifts her focus to the world’s grasslands—landscapes that are as vibrant and changeable as water. Inspired by her travels across the U.S. and abroad, she explores how these ecosystems reflect resilience, diversity, and the constant motion of life.

Andrea Geller holds a BFA from Parsons School of Design, following two years of painting study at Cornell University, and an MFA in Painting from William Paterson University. Her early career as an illustrator and designer included work for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Random House Publishing. Her paintings have been exhibited nationally, and her work Floating was selected for display in the U.S. Embassy in Athens, Greece. In 2023, her piece Swimming Over Antarctica was featured in the NJ Arts Annual at the Noyes Museum.

Geller has also been teaching painting and drawing at New Jersey colleges since 1997, bringing her passion and experience into the classroom.

Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, September 6, from 5 to 7 PM, and meet the artist.
