Andie’s intuitive paintings employ a unique technique of layered translucent resin, clay and glass with painting both above, inside and below the surfaces. A sense of depth and dimension is created through these layered natural textures, both hard and soft, rhythmic and organic. Andie’s contemplative artwork immerses the viewer in nature’s rhythm and our own consciousness.
