Art has always been a part of Andrea’s life in one way or another with many types of venues from piano, violin, and oboe; to clay, bread dough, tole painting and lots of sewing.  She took her first watercolor class at the San Diego Art Museum in 2000, and has been hooked ever since with the variety of textures, the movement of the paint in the water, the array of techniques, and the endless potential for continuous growth! 

Andrea has been blessed with many teachers and mentors since then.  She has studied with nationally known artists:  Lynn Ferris; Laurie Goldstein-Warren; Sterling Edwards; Laurie Humble; Susan Harrison Tustain, and Karlyn Holman. 

Andrea has been accepted as a Signature Member of the West Virginia Watercolor Society since 2013.

Andrea and her husband, Jim, live in Clarksville, VA on a wonderful lake community on the border of North Carolina since September of 2013.   Please take a moment to watch this video and see why we love it here so much!
