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.
