Andrea Armstrong eats, sleeps, and paints in lovely East Vancouver. She graduated from Capilano University where she studied illustration and graphic design. She spends her days (and often late nights) at her cozy studio, where she works on commissioned illustration, fine art, and design. Her paintings are usually character-driven: portraits and figurative illustrations are her thing. In 2010 she participated for the first time in the East-side Culture Crawl. She has also been part of a few group shows: Start with Art 2009 (Seymour Gallery); Reflections Vancouver 2008 (Ferry Building Gallery); Positively Petite 2008, 2010 ( Place des Arts).
