Andrea Durfee

So often we can tumble into the spin of tasks, productivity and disembodiment. I am interested in reawakening our wonder and reenchantment through the creation of intimate works filled with play and color. Tuning back into the innate power we hold within. Pulling on my background as an art therapist, my work reflects on the connection between our inner and outer worlds and the vibrant hope that lies within.

Creating in watercolor, acrylic, ceramic and animation, my current work fuses landscape, flora and fauna with the human figure, while also extending into the realm of live experiential art. Whether sweeping landscapes embedded with figures, intimate scenes of quiet moments, or paintings that emerge in real-time during life's sacred gatherings, I hope to encourage viewers to recognize the sacred within themselves, the mundane, and their relationships.

My practice encompasses both solitary studio work and collaborative live painting experiences, holding intimate space for individuals to explore their inner goddess through intuitive portrait sessions. In these live encounters, art becomes a bridge, transforming personal experience and gifts into lasting talismans of connection and celebration.

These works are an offering of land in which one can take a quiet walk, find light, and connect. Each creation serves as a reminder that magic exists in both our individual journeys and our shared human experiences, inviting us back to wonder and to each other.
