Hi There!
I'm Andrea.
I studied Fine Arts at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. While there, I discovered my love of drawing with charcoal.
My husband, Chris, and I were married in June 2009.
Our son, Oliver, arrived in March 2010. A week after he was born, we moved to a new little town about 4 hours away from our family and closest friends. In 2011, after a long search, we finally found and purchased our current home. The year 2012 saw the arrival of our daughter, Amelia.
Now, this former Kitchen Designer turned Domestic Artist is enjoying life as a mom and wife. Along the way, I've been navigating "the fine art of family life" and sharing my discoveries here.
Keep in touch and join us as we create our lives, shape our young family and find balance between charcoal & crayons.
