RESUME

Summer's Past #8 - 18" x 24" pastel

Andrea received her BPA with honors from Ohio University. Studying art in Italy, she developed a love for the figure that defines her work and inspires her teaching. Andrea is a forth generation woman artist. She has been a Featured Artist for galleries in the Southeast and a frequent participant in group and juried shows. Her pastels reflect her appreciation of the human form and her passion for line in capturing the gesture of the figure. Stephen Doherty, Editor-in-Chief of American Artist says, "She is a gifted artist".

She has taught art from Maine to the Virgin Islands, working in a wide range of media, refining her style in the dynamic Caribbean light of St. Croix and teaching anatomy, figure drawing, art history and portfolio courses at the Art Institute of Dallas. She has been a Master Teacher of Visual Arts at Sea Island School for the Arts. She lives on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
