their unique creations.
Andrea believes, Art is an experience, an evolving process created through inspiration. Great art inspires
& creates conversation. "There are no failures in art, only differences of opinion. Andrea understands that
creativity takes courage, for one's art will not appeal to all, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Her
goal is that every customer will treasure her art as much as she enjoyed creating it. Please join Andrea at
