Welcome! I'm Andrea

My work is focused on Florida’s natural environment and animals: the struggling riches of my state, the challenges they have faced in the past, and those of the present. I am influenced by the writings of early Floridians who wrote about the Florida glades and its animals, the present-day actions performed by local organizations, and state parks, as well as the beauty that still exists. I daydream about this saturated land as it once was, the flocks of hundreds of birds, the plethora of alligators, panthers, deers, and smaller animals that once lived a balanced coexistence. Working with encaustics stimulates the narrative between photography and painting. By combining wax in its molten state with my photographs, layer by layer, mark by mark, I build the encaustic painting, and the visual story of an inspired dreamlike world evolves.

My currently available artwork for purchase is listed under the portfolio tab. I also accept commissions. Contact me directly for any piece you may be interested in. Keep an eye out below for my encaustic workshops given here in Miami, FL.
