Åndria's Artist Statement:


Each work of art tells a story that develops as I fill the canvas with fields of color. I aim to preserve the purity and innocence of life in my work. No matter how simple the components of each piece may seem, they symbolize relationships,community issues,or matters close to the heart. This underlying tale is often behind the titles I choose. By working with acrylic paint and mediums I create textures and manipulate the surface of the canvas as the image unfolds in my mind.(be sure to click more information under image)
I anticipate a good challenge with every series and strive to explore new styles and expressions within my genre. My persistent goal is to communicate peace and refreshment through my art, hoping my audience will find echoes of places or relationships they’ve experienced or imagined. For me, creating art is an emotional and intellectual experience, an intense voyage of self-expression welcoming viewers to engage in their own journey.
In the interest of sharing my art with everyone, regardless of financial status or corporate need I have made my work available in many different formats. As you scroll through the portfolio you will see whether a piece is available as a commission work, giclee on canvas, or paper, note cards, or magnets. I love new projects and ideas, so if you have a specific need don't hesitate to inquire!

Note, many of the pieces you see on this site are available as 11x14 Limited Edition Prints. Also, when you order a print, you will be contacted with a choice of three mat colors to choose from.
You can also find smaller originals and jewelry on my ETSY site:

Also in the works? "Sassy and the Bee" handbags, and baby frocks!
SHOP AND ENJOY!

If you'd like to be on my event list and receive coupons and show details, send me a quick note to andria@andrialinn.com and I will put you on my private contact list.

Redlight film/art project
(projectredlight.org)

Jun 1, 2012 - Jun 1, 2012
Marbles Museum • Raleigh, NC

There are over 27 million slaves in the world today. Many of them toil in anonymity making the products we use every day. Others suffer daily in the $7 billion industry of the sex trade. Most of them are women and children!

Human Trafficking is a very real problem, not only globally, but right here in the US and in the Triangle. The Red Light Film & Art Project is a burgeoning movement in the Triangle that seeks to eradicate the modern day slave trade.

Film and art have a way of speaking to the deepest parts of us. The Red Light Film & Art Project wants to leverage this power to help move us toward action! Through movie screenings, art shows, and more, we want to raise awareness, unite local abolitionists, and connect people with ways to fight human trafficking.
Come out for an evening of awareness and enjoy local art and brewery- all for free! - oh the art IS for sale, and there IS a silent art auction!
