Currently Andrea attends California State University Fullerton. She is working towards her MFA in Fine Art. In addition Andrea works as a studio assistant for the Los Angeles based artist, Rebecca Campbell. Andrea describes her process as very physical. She feels painting is an intuitive event, often violent, aggressive and fast pace. Color is laid down with trowels, knives and large brushes, only to be later removed with knives, sanders and/or any tool that will take paint off. Responding to subtle shifts which lead the work into directions that are not always clear is essential. Andrea describes painting sd a place where the outside world falls away. A place where there is no judgment, no rules, but when something does not fit, it clearly makes itself known. To me, this is the magic. The magic of a physical act taking over and the body serving as a catalyst.
