While living in Hollywood, California,
in a historic home once owned by Gary
Cooper, she developed a flamboyant style
from her association with a variety of film
stars such as Mae West. All of this has led
to the creation of her “Bling Art,” jewelencrusted
sculptures. These artworks are
studded with color and light that attract
attention wherever they are exhibited.
Her work is bedazzling and leaves a
positive impression on those who view it.
But most of all, there is something about her
pieces that brings a smile to faces, young,
old, artsy or not.
To see more of “Miss” Andrea’s creations,
visit Dillard’s in the Westfield Countryside
mall, the Syd Entel Galleries and Susan
Benjamin Glass in Safety Harbor, or the
Dunedin Fine Art Center. 9
