the Artist
Thank you for visiting my page, let me introduce myself. My name is Andra Wilcox and I am an Artist from Upstate New York, but not in the city you would expect. There is a whole larger part of the state that is wide open and beautiful and is surrounded by spacious farmland that most people don’t expect when they hear New York. I grew up on a small horse farm, surrounded by nature, animals and an abundance of inspiration to indulge my creativity. I’ve always had a desire for doodling, drawing and creating from a very young age and I would do so any chance I could get. I often get inspired on my rides with my beautiful mare, Maggie. I have had the privilege of owning the best horses any young girl could every ask for, and they are often integrated into my work in some way. My creative style often evolves from what I am creating and the subject matter. I let it tell me what it wants to do, and I go from there.
