Ringside 20 x 16 oil on linen

Although she no longer owns a horse of her own, Andrea draws on her experience of riding and caring for them in her youth to accurately portray horses in their environment today. Gathering reference material takes her to various events including horse racing, steeplechasing, fox hunting, polo, harness racing, driving events, and horse shows, as well as other equine activities. While she enjoys painting all subjects, including dogs, cats, and wildlife, her particular interest lies in the excitement and color of sporting art.

Andrea's work is in collections throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe, including the Menlo Polo Club in California, and the Ontario Jockey Club in Toronto, Canada. Her paintings have hung in exhibits at the Kentucky Derby Museum at Churchill Downs; the International Museum of the Horse, in Lexington, KY; the National Museum of Polo, in Wellington, FL; the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, in CA; the Wildlife Experience Museum, in Parker, CO; and the Northern Westchester Center for the Arts, in NY. She has participated in a large number of juried exhibits throughout the country, where she has received numerous awards.

With her work on the cover of Polo: Player's Edition, Equine Vision Magazine, and The Chronicle of the Horse, she has also been pictured in Spur, and The Draft Horse Journal, as well as having feature articles on her work in Sidelines, Equine Images, Michigan Thoroughbred Breeder's Association, Art Horse Magazine, and Hoof Beats publications.

In addition to being an Associate Member of the AAEA, Andrea is also a member of the Society of Animal Artists, and Oil Painters of America.
