Trained in Fine Art : Painting at Kingston in the early 60's. After graduation Andrea lived in Devon from where her family originates. While her family were growing up, she ran a clothing business Schmocks and in 1976 held an exhibition of screen-printed smocks in Totnes, Devon. Once her children left home, she set out to live in Wales and resume painting, having her first exhibition at the Taliesin Arts Centre, Swansea in 1992. Andrea has continued to show her work there and throughout Wales & England since. In 1998 she was selected as a member of the Watercolour Society of Wales (WSW). Although most of her work is coastal landscape, she is open to other work, and looks forward to making portraits and work based on legend and imagined more abstract work. Andrea lives near the sea, at Amroth, with views across to distant Lundy island. She is married to painter Geoff Yeomans.


ANDREA KELLAND GICLEES : BLUESTONE VILLAGE, PEMBROKESHIRE

Bluestone is a brand new ‘village’ created in woodlands near Narberth, my local town. It has hundreds of wooden lodges as well as an area of ‘traditional’ cottages. It also has a new pool building called the Blue Lagoon, which was designed to represent an upturned coracle, though to my eye recalls a water beetle. Bluestone wanted my work for that wonderful setting .
Several of my images have been printed onto acrylic sheet, as large-scale giclees, and they are stunning ! They will be wall-mounted in certain areas of the Blue Lagoon & its restaurant. The largest of them is BIG WAVE at 5’x 6’+ which will be positioned at the entry to the pool itself…which has a wave machine : hopefully not producing such mighty waves ! The other large prints are : ‘Waveswell’ at 5’x5’6”, ‘On the Rocks’ , ‘Over the Rocks’, ‘Lagoon Ripples’, ‘Pebble Ripples’ and an exclusive ‘Blue Lagoon’ …this version of Blue Lagoon is exclusive to Bluestone and will be available in smaller sized giclees !
There are some superb framed giclees in the restaurant there too, as well as in the 17 ‘STUDIO’ apartments. These look really classy in their thick and deep ‘pewter’ frames. The retail areas at Bluestone will have a selection of my giclees , as well as some of my A5 cards which I’ve been printing at home.(not using quality pigment inks though : so they could fade in strong light, if you’re tempted to frame them !)
All my framing and printing has been managed by Kadinsky Art in Narberth.
