Why I strive to make "meaningful marks" ...
Before I could speak, I made marks. My grandmother kept a kitchen drawer filled with my drawings from the time I was two, celebrating a voice before words.
I see evidence of an Almighty God who created a world designed for meaning, where marks, math, dance and art have as much meaning as words. For millennia, humans have left traces on stone and parchment. My art simply continues that design—weaving personal stories into a living testimony of our time.
I use my work to honor His creation and the redemptive work of a risen Christ
"because we are larger than the frame into which we have been compressed."
~ G.K. Chesterton

Here's what the critics say: "Andrea's work bursts with energy and draws us into an intimate connection with life in its fullness. She places her subjects on twisted landscapes that defy traditional perspective and makes every viewer an eyewitness to some secret storyline. She invites you to sense and reflect on the value of life and the Creator of it all."
"If art is good art, if it is true art, if it is beautiful art, then it is bearing witness to
the Author of the good, the true, and the beautiful" ~ RC Sproul
