Had a lovely experience and met Andrew, one of the artists and the co-owner. He was welcoming and detailed the process of his beautiful encaustic paintings (beeswax and pigment!) The photographs were beautiful (check out the sheep on the second floor) and it was overall a very nice experience! Looking to comeback at some point in the new year...

My wife and I decided to take a short vacation in Prince Edward County last month. I was looking forward to the wineries, which are wonderful, by the way. But after finding a brochure in our room at The CAPE about the local art scene we just had to visit the Andara Gallery. We weren't disappointed. Andrew Csafordi's encaustic art is stunning and his creativity in his use of the wax medium is on display with every painting. The encaustic method was a surprise to me and even to my wife who has been painting on and off for years. We had a wonderful conversation with Andrew, who is very personable and very willing to talk about his art. Needless to say we now have one of Andrew's paintings hanging in our home.
Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Tara Wilkinson but the gallery has a great selection of her work. If you visit the gallery, make sure you go to the second floor and pay attention to Tara's work hanging in the stairway. I just loved her marshland photos.
I highly recommend a visit to Andara.

We've been to Andara gallery many times to enjoy the breathtaking artistry of Tara and Andrew. Their creativity knows no bounds and they are constantly creating stunning works of arts, some of which have a special place in our home. We've also attended a few of the amazing community events that they've hosted on their beautiful property. Their energy and passion for giving back to the community and sharing their gift of art with the world is endless. You must stop by Andara to see for yourself!

If you are visiting Prince Edward County, Anadara Gallery must be on your list. First of all the owners, Tara and Andrew are an absolute delight. The space is such a breath of fresh air and the artwork is something to be seen. Andrew is an encaustic painter and Tara’s photographs are mesmerizing. Go and visit them to see for yourself.

Creativity exudes from the moment you drive onto the property and Andara Gallery. Andrew and Tara are more than just artists, their genuine hospitality shows that they truly care about welcoming you and taking the time to have you learn about the uniqueness of their encaustic art and fine art photography. A renowned gallery if you're looking for an exceptional piece, and not to be missed when you visit PEC any time throughout the year.

The ANDARA Gallery experience offers a welcoming, natural setting for the two gallery spaces located on the property. The ethos of the barn gallery is an experience, harmonizing with the beautiful natural surroundings of the extensive rural property. The Andara Gallery building, situated closer to the entrance of the picture-perfect property, brings a playful and variegated presence with its dream-inspired , rainbow-coloured façade. Add to that the generous hospitality offered by the artists and the inspired artistic expression in both galleries, I have consistently found each visit to be uplifting, edifying and well worth the trip. We have purchased two of Tara’s nature photographs and I have been tempted by more than one of Andrew’s encaustics. Love this place 😊

I have visited the Andara Gallery numerous times and I’ve brought friends and family to discover the wonderful art on display. I enjoy the varied subjects of Tara’s photography and I love looking at them every day in my home. Andrew’s encaustic paintings are rich and vibrant, and he’s a wonderful host when explaining the technique. It’s a beautiful place to visit year round.

ANDARA Gallery is a special place. Encaustic artist, Andrew and photographer and digital artist,Tara warmly welcome guests to their beautiful PEC agrarian property which boosts an historic barn and contemporary ANDARA Gallery where their art work is showcased so beautifully. We love the art work we have purchased over the years from both Andrew and Tara. Andrew's encaustic painting entitled, "Old Growth" and Tara's colourful and graphic photograph, "Missing Gerard" hold pride of place on the walls of our home. You must visit ANDARA Gallery when in Prince Edward County!

Andara Gallery in Prince Edward County is a must see. The high standard art and presentation is very engaging.
Most art galleries represent artists, but in this rare situation you get contact not only with their art, but also will likely meet the artists themselves. It’s a great opportunity to get more insight into Tara and Andrew’s fascinating process and creative journey.
Beautiful art in a warm atmosphere - their passion clearly abounds.

For the past four years, Tara and Andrew (with the help of wonderful friends) have festively decorated their beautiful century-old barn with a stunning 18-foot Christmas Tree Farm and welcomed residents and visitors alike for the fourth consecutive year for a “Holiday Photo in the Barn," fundraiser for the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation (PECMHF)
Tara and Andrew have raised over $29,000 for PECMHF's Back the Build campaign for a new hospital in Prince Edward County.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supports this festive fundraiser at ANDARA Gallery year after year as we work to modernize and enhance health care services to ensure people living in and visiting our community continue to have access to care close to home.
Tara and Andrew have been gracious hosts and are true champions for our community hospital.
