February 5th, 2007 by admin
Andrea Becker was born and raised in Lexington, KY. She attended The University of Kentucky, majored in psychology and went on to receive a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA. She has worked in the mental health field for the last 15 years.
Andrea is a self-taught artist who has continued to develop her style and skills over the years by attending various classes and workshops to learn new techniques. Although she has experience in a wide variety of mixed media, her current body of work focuses on leather sculpture. During her years in Arkansas, she was a member of the Mid Southern Watercolorists Association and studied with mixed media artist, Caren Garner. Caren’s guidance and encouragement has influenced Andrea to turn what was once a creative hobby into a promising career.
Andrea’s art is enjoyed by private collectors internationally. Several pieces are currently on display at a business in Northern Kentucky. Her award winning work has also been exhibited at juried art shows and fairs in Ohio, Arkansas and Kentucky.
