Biography

Born 1972, Essex, England. Andrea Farmer trained in Illustration and Graphic Design at the Havering College of Further & Higher Education (BTEC ND in Graphic Design and A’ Level Graphic Design) and the Kent Institute of Art and Design (HND Graphic Design & Illustration). She has worked as a professional artist and graphic designer for over 10 years.

Andrea’s paintings are unique and vibrant. Her work is held in collections worldwide with a variety of corporate and private commissions. Various paintings are currently on loan or long term / permanent exhibition with galleries, corporate, charity and healthcare establishments in England. Andrea will also be exhibiting extensively through to 2009 with the Rogue Gene Collective, Art4Essex, in group exhibitions and on a solo basis.

Andrea’s work is inspired by the ever changing environment plus nature’s colour, mood, texture and form. Dramatic skies, cloud formations, movement and light feature heavily in her landscape and sunset paintings. Living in Chelmsford, Essex, England the vast beautiful countryside and local views also influence her work - alongside her travels to warmer climates, especially the coasts and islands of the Mediterranean and Adriatic which feature in her tranquil seascape paintings.

Andrea’s expressive abstract paintings are an expression from within 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 and visual impact.

Andrea is currently working on a new collection of floral still life paintings that aim to capture her love of flora and nature. The paintings 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.

Andrea is also a keen supporter of local art groups, community art and charity projects along with wildlife, nature and environmental causes.
