I hope you enjoy this extraordinary experience of the art of Andrew Reach, who happens to be my husband for almost 39 years now. No matter how many times while editing it, I have watched his images, it continually takes me away from self into a world of color, shape and wonder.
For those of you who are just seeing the work of Andrew Reach for the first time, he was an architect and because of a rare debilitating spine disease, became disabled and reinvented himself as an artist. To see more of Andrew Reach’s art visit https://www.andrewreach.com
Andrew Reach’s Sun Shown Again On Another Broadcast of CBS Sunday Morning
A sun , Artist Andrew Reach my husband, submitted to CBS Sunday morning broadcast on March 31, 2019 following a story about wrongfully convicted artist Richard Phillips who created art in prison for decades. So we were astonished when Andrew got an email with the subject line “We’re using your sun again tomorrow” from Jessica Frank with CBS Sunday Morning and she said:
I wanted to let you know that your yellow and black sun, which is SO cool, will appear on our Sunday Morning broadcast tomorrow, at the end of a story that we’re doing on Street Wear. It’s the perfect ending.
On Sunday morning June 23, 2019 the sun aired for the second time on the show at the end of the Street Wear Segment which you can see below.
Andrew Reach’s Ninety One Kites in the Summa Healing Arts Collection For New Patient Tower
I’m honored that my husband Andrew Reach’s art is part of a wonderful art collection; Summa Health’s new Healing Arts Collection for the new Patient Tower at the Akron campus. Meg Harris Stanton, Summa Health Healing Arts Leadership Council, curated the collection. She selected “Ninety One Kites” where it has been placed on the fifth floor across from the nurses station. Christine Havice, Chair, Summa Health Healing Arts Leadership Council researched and wrote about each artwork with dedicated web page’s for each artist (see list below). Below is excerpt of what she wrote on Andrew’s page:
After viewing this print, you may also find his reflections helpful in negotiating the visual arts world of today, where both digital and the older “analogue” techniques co-exist and often, as here and in certain other works of art in the Summa Collection, interpenetrate in new and exciting ways.

Andrew Reach – Finalist In Art Takes Soho Competition
I’m so proud that my husband Andrew Reach is a finalist in the art competition “Art Takes Soho”. He entered 6 artworks (shown below). His art will be shown digitally with the other finalist:
Wednesday, September 26th, 2018
6pm – 10pm
45 Lispenard St #1w
New York, New York
What I find so amazing about the new work he is creating is during this period of our life, the complications from his disease are insidious. His pain is off the charts as is his quality of life. We fight every day to have a nice day and somewhere in this amazing soul, in a body that doesn’t stop attacking him from within, this kaleidoscope of wonder and magic comes out.
