Andrew Roda’s development as a Western realist painter comes through a combination of personal heritage and an appreciation of the objects of classic Americana and their stories. His appreciation for the subject lies in a belief that everyday objects are artwork in and of themselves. From the craftsmanship and skill that went into making an object to the stories they tell through wear and tear, Roda finds value in the details of everyday objects. Through detail, scale of work, and soul, his paintings are his way of capturing the beauty inherent in these objects and imprinting that sense of appreciation on the canvas.
