Encaustic Wax
In her work, Andrea uses the 2000-year-old encaustic medium in a novel, contemporary manner. She is passionate about exploring the creative possibilities of encaustic wax and enjoys pushing the boundaries of traditional materials. She combines this ancient technique with contemporary art methods such as oil painting, gilding, and pen drawings. The image evolves by applying multiple materials, layer by layer. There is a tactile quality to her work as she builds up layers of wax while “painting” with her blowtorch. Andrea's process results in dynamic immersive artworks that invite viewers to engage with the work on multiple levels.

Solo Exhibitions
Andrea has held solo exhibitions in 2020 and 2022, showcasing her latest works to the public. Her exhibitions are characterized by immersive installations that showcase the depth and complexity of her encaustic artworks.
Artistic Achievements

Andrea has received numerous accolades for her work, including the Grand Prize and 1st Prize Contemporary winner at the Nundah Festival Art Competition in 2022, and the Judges Choice award at the Petite Pieces competition at Aspire Gallery for her painting Prize, and others.
