Andrea Lewicki (b. 1974) is an award-winning abstract artist, late blooming and largely self-taught. Insulated from traditional art for most of her life, her childhood was spent in a rural and defunct retirement community in northeastern Arizona surrounded by miles of dusty desert horizons, her mother's Mexican heritage, and her father's hot rod cars. A love of industrial grit and persistent curiosity led to an initial career in chemical engineering. Later, she found a more natural home in abstract art, which she describes as "a place where nothing is obvious, straight-on, or predictably duplicated." The most understood she has ever felt was when standing before Bleu II by Joan Miró in Paris.

Andrea has contributed visual art to zines and literary magazines including Mud Season Review, Cream City Review, and High Shelf Press. Her work has appeared in art publications such as Create! Magazine, Juniper Rag, and books released by Jen Tough Gallery.

Despite studio hermit tendencies, she is active in several collage communities and regularly participates in local art festivals. She is the founder of Special Agent Collage Collective.

Andrea enjoys rural life at the edge Western Washington’s Snoqualmie Valley. She dreams of artist colonies, cheese shops, and neighborhood bodegas.
