​Andrea has always loved art.    She has been an art collector and educator as well as an art creator throughout her life, and especially since retiring from her career in television production and moving to Prince Edward County ten years ago, when she was able to make more time to take her artistic pursuits seriously.  Initially most of Andrea’s paintings were in Dry (soft)  Pastel, which is a dry pigment that she applies to sanded papers.  In the last few years she has also become passionate about oil painting….so now she works wet or dry depending on the mood.

Andrea’s paintings cover a wide variety of subjects from landscapes to still life and portraiture.  Most often they show her interest in the effect of the light on the scene and you may notice her particular focus in painting water, reflection and translucency.   Andrea’s contemporary realistic paintings share a narrative and a sense of place.  They can be found in private collections in Canada and United States.   Andrea has shown her work in many juried shows across Canada, as well as here in our area at the Parrott Gallery and at Art in the County.  She is active in the local art community in the Rednersville Road Art tour and was previously a member of the Arts on Main Gallery in Picton.  Andrea is a signature member of Pastel Artists Canada.
