About Andrea Shaw
Andrea Shaw is a paint and textile artist living and working in Torquay, on Victoria’s Surf Coast/ Wathaurong Country.
Andrea’s works bring together aspects of landscape with intuitive mark making and collage. An abstract representation of time spent and felt in the landscape derived from pattern, colour and process.
Working from quick sketches made out on walks and memory her works are dynamic, playful snapshots responding to the ever-changing forms within the landscape.
