About the Art
What the artist saysColor plays a crucial component to my work, combining technicolor materials together in close proximity, to assemble pieces that draw the eye into moments of concentrated, intensified color.
Why we like itAndrea’s dense abstraction stretches across her surface, suggesting an expansive view of imagined landscapes, skyscapes, erosions and striations.
Where we hang it"Mountain Sighed" is large and in charge. Hang this solo in your living room or anywhere you might want a bold injection of color.
