Hi! I’m Andrea
I’m a Louisiana-based contemporary abstract artist whose work is driven by a love of color and atmosphere. I am known for textured color-field paintings inspired by travel, Mediterranean light, and European architecture.
Many of my collections are shaped by time spent in Europe—wandering the romantic streets and cafés of Paris, soaking in the sunlit blues of Greece, and standing in awe before Rome’s timeless architecture. Others grow from pure explorations of color and surface, influenced by the bold fields of Mark Rothko, the poetic gestures of Cy Twombly, and the playful shapes and colors of Henri Matisse.
Alongside abstraction, I create landscapes and still lifes that carry the same sense of warmth, openness, and atmosphere. My work is meant to bring calm, light, and a quiet feeling of joy into the home.
My paintings are represented by Ria Leigh Gallery (30A, Florida) and are collected by designers, galleries, and private collectors.
A Journal of Color and Life
From flowers and faded walls to cafés, coastlines, and color palettes, these are the places, moments, and details that often find their way into my paintings.
Here I also share memorable steps on my journey, including seeing my work featured in the Parade of Homes, the St. Jude Dream Home, and hospital postpartum recovery rooms. Each of these experiences has shaped the work in meaningful ways.
