an early age, working with various mediums to develop her unique style. Andrea's Art

materials to create a colorful fusion of Artistic Designs, from fine art to wearable
art, jewelry, home décor, custom designs & exclusive gifts to be treasured. Andrea
enjoys designing custom pieces for clients & seeing their excitement when they love
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
an Art Festival, Exhibit or Show to find additional treasures to add to your collection.
