Andrea is a fine artist rooted in a legacy of creativity. Her grandmother was an illustrator, her father a sculptor, and her mother and sisters are all artists. Painting daily is not just a practice for Andrea—it is essential to her spirit. Raised among the majestic beauty of America’s national parks, she absorbed nature’s awe and complexity at a young age, and today, she channels that influence into museum-quality oil paintings that reveal both outer landscapes and inner truths.
Now based in Los Angeles, Andrea works exclusively in oil on handmade fine linen canvas. Her process is meditative and intentional: she begins each painting with a moment of silence or prayer, centering herself before translating vision into form. She focuses intently on composition, color, value, edges, and fine detail—always seeking to create work that offers something unexpected and beautiful. Her pieces, often inspired by daily interactions with nature and animals, invite viewers into a space where abstraction meets emotional clarity.
Andrea’s style is what she calls organic abstraction, a space between realism and dream where feelings take shape in forms. She is especially known for her Orchydia collection—an innovative series of abstract orchid paintings presented in carefully balanced pairs. Each pair consists of two nearly identical paintings, with the only difference being the placement of her signature. These mirrored works serve as visual metaphors for harmony, duality, and perspective—showing that two opposing views can coexist peacefully, side by side
.
This concept of pairing is not just aesthetic—it’s philosophical. As someone with mild dyslexia, Andrea is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, who is believed to have shared a similar challenge. Like da Vinci, she views art as both invention and introspection. Frequent visits to world-renowned museums continue to nourish her craft and connect her with the timeless wisdom of the masters.
In addition to exhibiting and selling original works, Andrea accepts commissions based on meaningful images from her clients’ lives, transforming them into personalized, one-of-a-kind paintings. Every piece she creates is both an offering and an evolution—part of her journey toward deeper artistic wholeness.
“This journey I’m on is more than art—it’s a pilgrimage. With every painting, I’m not only trying to become a better artist, but a more whole human being.”
— Andrea, April 2025
