CREATE Let's Chat Events
Ever wanted to shrink down and step into a tiny world? Well, I can’t help with the shrinking part, but I do create miniature spaces packed with big stories! I’m Andi, a mixed media artist who’s been crafting tiny things with a lot of character for about five years. Miniatures have offered me not only inspiration, but an incredibly inclusive community of makers who have welcomed me in and encouraged me along the way. With a background in writing, I love weaving narratives into my miniatures— especially the kind that look like they’ve been through some things (weathering is my love language). Whether you're a fellow miniaturist, a collector, or just curious about tiny, mysterious, lived-in worlds, come hang out and chat with me!

Gen-Art 2024 Opening Reception
GEN-ART: An Exploration of Creativity Across Generations
Never before in history have so many generations actively existed at once- Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha. Generational differences emerge as each has distinct skillsets, life experiences, perspectives, opinions, interests, beliefs, communication styles, and values. Juror Kenneth Jackson, a multi-generational art teacher, brings artists from all generations together to reflect on the differences and distinctions of their creative expression.
My piece ThERa will be featured at East End Arts Gallery in Riverhead. Please join me at the opening reception of this juried exhibition.
