About Andrea Marriette:
Andrea Marriette is a full-time, award-winning artist who loves to express her visions on canvas with colour and texture using various mediums.
Many of her artworks have been sold throughout Australia, the USA, Europe, and by private collectors.
After leaving school Andrea spent 5 years learning & studying art and design through College and University in the UK. Over the years she has also painted murals in restaurants, and kids’ bedrooms, curated and designed artworks to decorate office spaces in Sydney and Melbourne, and has had paintings published in International magazines.
Andrea sees inspiration all around her and her creative list is always expanding. But most of her artworks are centered around her love and appreciation for nature, wildlife, and plants.
With nature, she’s instantly drawn to the colours, textures, and patterns. She then paints it as she envisages it through abstracts.
With birds, insects, animals, plants, and the occasional landscape she applies traditional fine art, understanding the direction of the light and mapping out the artwork to make sure the perspective and ratios are correct.
Andrea also creates figurative surreal artworks where her vision is to connect humanity more with nature in one artwork.
