ANDREA PETERSON
Andrea Peterson
(she/her)
Andrea creates paintings suggestive of dreams and the abstract reality woven within them.
Raised along the East Coast, she graduated from East Carolina University in North Carolina, U.S. with a concentration in Illustration.The next several years brought her to Washington, D.C. and then New York, NY where she pursued her passion for painting, before the lure of the desert brought her to Arizona. The Southwest swiftly became the home-base for Andrea’s fantastical creations, as she finds infinite inspiration within the exotic landscape where desert and mountains merge.
Patterns, portraits, and figures are frequently the focal point within my
paintings, woven together as an indescribable narrative. While considered an idiosyncratic surrealist, my work is constantly evolving within a broad stylistic spectrum. My paintings evoke dream-like enchantment and the sense of constant evolution.... as Picasso once said, “I paint as I breathe.”
