Inspired by the ever changing environment alongside nature's colour, mood, texture and form, Andrea's work is original and vibrant. She favours a vivid use of colour - oil, ink and mixed media are her preferred mediums. Gold and silver leaf also feature in many of her artworks adding opulence to her unique style of painting. Professional quality stretched box canvas, canvas board, wood panels and 300gsm oil paper plus high quality artists materials are used to create artworks. Completed paintings are satin varnished to protect and enhance the colours. All artwork is titled, signed and dated by the artist.

Andrea is happy to consider private and corporate commissions and take part in art workshops and demos.

ethereal landscape
The ethereal landscape paintings focus on the British rural and coastal landscape. In particular, the way that light across the land creates abstract patterns, reflections and movement causing changes to perceived colour vision. These paintings have a glowing, sometimes hazy effect with opulent colours and evocative forms that melt into one another, creating an ethereal atmosphere.

expressive abstract
The expressive abstract paintings are an expression manifested from the mind - an alternative and sometimes passionate, obscure and twisted view representing personal matters, feelings and emotion with regards to everyday objects in the natural world around us. Popular with private and corporate collectors alike, these paintings are vivid and energetic with sweeping strokes, precise mark making and visual impact.

floral & still life
The semi-abstract floral and still life paintings aim to capture Andrea's love of flora and nature. These artworks feature flowers or plants in vases or vessels bursting with vitality. The texture and shape of the flowers are rendered in rich oil colour with expressive brush strokes and intricacies of pattern with texture and mixed media. Roses and tulips are amongst the artists favourite flowers. The still life empty vessel paintings concentrate on semi-abstract, figurative, simple forms with uncrowded space and unfussy lines.
