Andrew Wieland (b. 1988, Oak Park, IL, USA) is a painter based in Nashville, Tennessee. His work explores the human figure and natural forms as vessels of interior life. Working primarily in oil, he uses the body, florals and still life as symbolic language. They are spaces where vulnerability, devotion, and transformation can quietly surface. His work seeks to utilize classical technique within a contemporary context to create richly layered images where viewers are offered a space for contemplation and quiet reflection.
Building on lifelong passions for studio art, music, sports, and theater, and a prior career farming in his native Midwest, Wieland began training with renowned artist and educator, Juliette Aristides (Seattle, WA). Under Aristides’ direction, he studied a traditional atelier curriculum, which focused on a classical approach to drawing and painting. He concluded his formal studies in 2024 and now paints full-time from his studio in Nashville, where he lives with his wife and son. Wieland is a graduate of Loyola University Chicago (B.A. 2014).
