My tranquility comes from nature as does my inspiration. It’s in those deeply personal and intimate moments when the spirit connects with nature and creativity rushes forth, that I am convinced inspiration must be shared. aNDREA kEEN
ARTIST bio
Andrea emigrated from Adelaide, South Australia to the United States in 1996. She graduated from the Corcoran School of Art and Design in Washington DC. with a B.A. in Fine Art. She then moved to New York City and work with several galleries while teaching art with the Educational Alliance and studying welding in China Town. She is now happily residing in Austin TX.
Australia’s unique plants and animals were what captivated her imagination as a child and, to this day, that influence remains an integral part of what drives her work. It’s that deep connection with nature that still inspires her and drives her need to communicate nature’s raw, delicate power to others.
An art teacher for many years, Andrea finds great joy in inspiring others, most notably those who don’t get to experience nature as intimately as she has in her life. To be able to relay natures universe of balance and healing to souls, who don’t have that resource close at hand, is a privilege.
