About Alice Andrews
Represented Artist
Alice Andrews (8/25/1946-12/5/2021) was a native Arkansas artist who lived among nature, both at her family home in El Dorado, and at her 1800's farmhouse in Boxley Valley on the Buffalo National River. She discovered her love and affinity for visual arts as a student at Henderson College in Arkadelphia then worked as a graphic artist at advertising agencies, art studios and an architectural and engineering design firm. Andrews also attended graduate school at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore where she was a student of Grace Hartigan, a member of the second wave of abstract expressionist painters in New York City. Andrews’ art can be found in numerous private and corporate collections in Arkansas and throughout the country, and inquiries can be made to Art Ventures NW Arkansas.
Alice wrote, "My paintings come from the need to make a mark, like drawing in the dirt, or like scratches made on cave walls, a primal drive to create something out of emotions, to make the spirit visible. Cave drawings, rock art, marks made in the ground, old sidewalks, floors and walls that reflect the history of time, all inspire me. I work from my dreams, surroundings, and family life, or just from the pleasure of using color, line, and form. The response that you as the viewer make to any of these artworks expresses your connection to them. Creation is all around."
