Andrea Marcus Artist
Ceramics, Glass, Painting, Sculptures
Firstly, I have been working as an artist for most of my life. I graduated from The Ontario College of Art, now known as OCAD, and studied fine art at York University in Toronto. I began my professional career as a painter and a sculptor. Always painting, I ventured into other areas and mediums. I studied photography and glassblowing throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe. The main focus of my work has always been painting and sculpture, and my mediums vary: stone carving, bronze, glass casting and blowing, oil painting, watercolour, and a fresh medium using acrylic, polymer, resin, wax, and adhesive.
Who am I?
I enjoy hiking in my spare time, and many of my pieces are directly influenced by these hikes. I love recreating plants and wildlife in my work. I also paddleboard and kayak on oceans and lakes, all of which influence my work. My interest in the climate, geography, and topography affects my photographs and abstract paintings. For many years, I also loved to paint my studio gardens...a journey to Antarctica in 1992 led me to paint ice, which eventually led me to glass. You will see these evolutions in my art.
Recently, I’ve taken my joy into pursuing ceramics. This uses the skills that I learned from Painting and Sculpting. I call this new collection “Studio AKM”; this is what we are selling on my site currently. I have been curating kimonos from Japan, bowls, etc. They include vibrant colours and have a story in everyone.
The Best of My World
