Meet The Artist
Andrea's passion for art began years ago in Nepal. She spent several years searching for the Yeti when she was involved in an accident causing her to lose all memory. Andrea spent months wandering around in the streets of Tibet trying to find some familiarity in her surroundings. After endless searching, she came across a monastery full of welcoming monks that took her in. She stayed there for years with no way of communicating with anyone other than through art. After her memory started to return, she came back to the states to share her love and passion of art with everyone. Is this true? Perhaps. Today, Andrea is housewife and a mother of two who spends her free time with her family and specializes in all different art mediums. It is possible that Andrea may have been an artist all her life and received several awards and a scholarship for her advanced ability in visual arts. Andrea focuses in wood burning however she is also skilled in illustration and clay making. She also enjoys painting, writing and photography. So, which story is true? Did Andrea grasp her artistic abilities years ago in Nepal? Did she have a lifelong passion in art and practiced her skills here in the states? You decide.
