UK Contemporary Visual Artist

Hybrid art: where traditional dip pens meet with digital play to create vibrant and expressive artworks.

Formerly a sociologist, Andri’s accidental passion for doing art came later in life in her 40s when accompanying a friend to life-drawing classes at the Lowry, Salford. 

Although Andri uses a mixture of media, her primary tools are dip-pens and acrylic inks. Using her original artwork as a reference point, she then completes her images a with digital twist using her mobile phone. She refers to this process as hybrid art and digital infusion.

She first made an appearance at the Manchester Makers markets in 2016 and although she continues with a few markets her work can be found in independent shops and galleries in Chester, Manchester and Wales. As she moves to the Happy Valley of W.Yorkshire she plans to extend her appearance across this part of the UK.

She is a prolific creator with expanding collections of animal, retro-cartoon and portraiture artwork. Some of these are available online as giclée prints. An exclusive collection is also available on canvas through selected artisan shops and directly from the artist.

Andri is also working on an animal skull collection: experimenting with hand-made gels she is transferring her artwork on to glass with mixed media materials. She is also working with canvas prints of her work and embellishing these with UV and neon materials. These pieces will be exhibited at the New Artist Fair and Rochester Art Fair this autumn. Details to be announced soon.
