ARTIST BIO

Andrea Allen

Artist Statement

Some of my earliest memories as a child were of drawing, particularly people. I followed this interest over the years by attending life drawing classes and began painting later when I undertook university studies as a mature aged student. My subject matter is drawn from my immediate surroundings whether a domestic interior or suburban streetscape. I endeavour to convey a mood, often reflective and a sense of narrative within my works.
