It’s remarkable how Andriulli finds the time and light
necessary for his work, maintaining the same quality and vision,
while remaining dedicated to his students as an Art Professor
at Millersville University. He serves as a major influence
to Lancaster’s painting community, including former
students Nathan Brumbach, Janell Olah, and Paul Manlove, local
“emerging” artists, whom have already gained gallery
representation in Lancaster shortly after graduation and have
gone on to pursue their Master in Fine Arts. Andriulli teaches
by example.
Robert Andriulli
formally taught at Bowdin College in Maine, Seton Hall University
in New Jersey, and Penn State in University Park. Born in
Paterson, New Jersey, Andriulli now resides in Millersville,
Pennsylvania. He received his Bachelor’s degree from
William Paterson College of New Jersey in 1975 and a Master
of Fine Arts in Painting from Pennsylvania State in 1978.
Andriulli has
an extensive exhibition record, including shows in Maine,
New York, and New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Among his fellowship
awards, he has earned fellowship grants from the National
Endowment for the Arts (1987) and the New Jersey State Council
on the Arts (1979 and 1985). He has also received Artist in
Residence Fellowships and Yaddo Foundation and Millay Colony
for the Arts, both in New York, as well as the Fine Arts Work
Center in Providencetown, Massachusetts, and the Virginia
Center for the Creative Arts Sweet Briar, Virginia. Andriulli
is featured in Daphne Landis’s book, Speaking for Themselves:
The Artists of Southern Pennsylvania.
