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, Karlyn Holman, Shirley Trevna and Anne Abgott. 

Her artwork is always on display (and for sale) at the Galleria - downtown Clarksville, and with the Lake Country Artisans Guild at "Through The Looking Glass Coffee and Books".  In Milton, NC you will find her work at "Milton Studio Art Gallery."  Andrea is involved in a lot of art shows as well - see  Upcoming Shows to see where the next one is!

Andrea and her husband, Jim, live in Clarksville, VA on a wonderful lake community on the border of North Carolina, since September of 2013.
