The beauty is still there.

ORIGINAL WORKS BY ANDREA NICOLE

I notice things other people walk past. A weed pushing through concrete. Light caught on a still afternoon.

I make original art from those moments. Beauty is everywhere, even when you have stopped looking.

These pieces are what I found when I started to look again.

These are the moments.

Every piece came from something I saw, or felt, or lived through. You'll know yours when you see it. That's how it always works.

Some moments need more space.

Sometimes a piece of art decorates a room. Sometimes it quietly interrupts something inside us. The works I create lives somewhere in between.

So surprised and moved that Andrea created this for me for my 70th Birthday. Scenes of me and my girls when they were children playing on the beach, camping, strawberry picking and picnicking with their Nan. The picture was so special because it was made personally for me.

I asked Andrea to create a piece from a photo of me and my dad by the sea, just sharing a quiet moment feeding the birds. She turned it into something really meaningful. I’m genuinely so grateful for it.
