Hello.
Being an artist is something I always wanted to be. I was fortunate to have really supportive and creative art teachers from a young age. And just as important the support to be an artist from my parents has been a true value, which I will always be grateful for!

As I grew up I took a nontraditional, long path finishing art school. I was looking for more apprenticeship style learning before finally committing to completing my degree. I graduated from art school from the University of Colorado and currently work as an artist and volunteer at a 2 local nonprofit community art centers.

Why I Love Handmade Tiles:
There is something special about relief tiles that makes me very happy!
Making tiles has been a culmination of my favorite art mediums combined, printmaking, photography, drawing and sculpture. There is a bit of each of these processes in tile making. I strive to make designs that have a sculptural feel and fine detail. The many steps in tile making keep most of the steps pretty fun and interesting. Although I make my own molds and press each tile, each one is unique due to the nature of ceramics and firing in the kiln!

Thank You!
Each order is truly special and I am grateful to have the opportunity to share my art with you. I look forward to working together and am happy to answer any questions you may have.
Enjoy,
Andrea
