Andrea is an arts graduate from NCAD Dublin, where she specialised in Embroidered Textiles. She is based in Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, where she creates her artwork from her home studio, and also works as a part-time Tutor with SWC, teaching Arts & Crafts within the community. Andrea thoroughly enjoys guiding and helping others in creative projects, workshops, and classes, and she regularly facilitates workshops for adults and children in art centres, community groups, and school settings.

Over the years, Andrea has developed a distinctive style in her artwork, combining her love of painting, fabric, metal, and stitch. She is inspired by the natural landscape around her, and she loves nothing more than interpreting the beautiful and dramatic mountains, landscapes, and coastlines of the Irish landscape.
