MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Andrea Huffman is a mixed media textile artist that recently relocated to Brevard County from South Florida. She earned a Masters degree in Art Education from Florida International University and taught art in Broward County Schools for over 30 years, and ten years in Museum Education in Broward and Palm Beach. Andrea has exhibited locally and nationally and has received several awards and grants for her art as well as for community art events that she has coordinated.
"I am intrigued with the small nuances in nature, the interdependence within every aspect of the natural world and its relationship to humanity. I create works of art on fabric to connect viewers to my personal experiences and observations of my environment. Fiber offers tactile and dimensional qualities unlike other media, while essentially maintaining a two-dimensional surface.
My work draws upon both fine art and craft traditions, as well as contemporary innovations. I integrate various media, including drawing, painting, printmaking and digital imagery, with machine and hand stitching to embellish each image in a way that will emphasize and convey to the viewer, my initial fascination with my subjects. Through this process I seek to actively engage each viewer in a visual dialogue about our connectedness to the natural world and the desire to preserve its beauty." - Andrea Huffman
