With ethereal beauty, Andrea has captured the essence of small town Mississippi from the coast to the hills. Each abstract piece is unique. "My paintings are mixed media acrylic and oil on canvas using photo transfer technique that I integrate into the paintings and move them from realism to abstraction," said Andrea.
The Crossroads Marker
"My paintings are inspired by living and traveling through and around Mississippi. As a cityscape artist I love architecture and manmade structure’s connection with nature. I have been painting Hattiesburg, Columbia, Pass Christian for over ten years and I extended my interest from the beautiful Gulf coast, Southern Mississippi to all the way to the Delta and Tupelo. I visited Columbus, Vicksburg, Greenville, Clarksdale, Oxford and Tupelo. I took many images of their Downtown’s beautiful brick buildings, courthouses and clock towers."
The Balcony
"I was daily inspired by the warm feeling of old town Mississippi. Every single place I traveled to, I made friends and connections, and learned so much of the history of each town and their rich culture."
