“Flowers are an important element of my work, adding a unique energy that make the paintings come alive. Sometimes quiet, sometimes vibrant, but always bringing joy and beauty”
Meet the Artist
Andrea Curtis is a British mixed media artist. She studied BA Woven Textile Design and MA Printmaking which are both evident in her layered, textured, joyful art. Mainly working in a loose interpretation of still life, Andrea references interiors and travel, creating patterns and colours from memory to create richly layered pieces of art.
Her work combines references to folk art and decorative art tradition with the layered, collaged elements creating a sense of handcrafted beauty.
At first glance her work appears simple but look closer and the patterns, mark making and delicate lines continue to reveal themselves. There is a deceptive depth beneath the joyful colours and imagery.
