Andrea started her training at Northland Polytechnic, in Whangārei. After a car accident disrupted her study, Manos Nathan encouraged her attend Toihoukura Art School, in Gisborne. There, under the guidance of master colourist Sandy Adsett, Andrea graduated and entertained the possibility of painting as a full-time practice.

Customer Reviews
Exactly I need!!!
Thank you so much for putting your wealth of knowledge and experience together in this podcast series. You present the topics in a way that are easily digested and are precisely relevant to my situation. This is exactly what I need at exactly the right time. I’m ever-so grateful. I highly recommend this series to solo practitioners like myself struggling with the aspects of making a living through art which isn’t about making the art but getting it out there and beyond. Thanks Neville (and presumably team) 😅😄
