Andrea MAGUIRE is a professional artist with MFA from Norwich University (USA). She has exhibited extensively in both Canada and Internationally, including exhibitions in the USA, Ireland and Japan.

“I am interested in ‘process’ in my work. It is in the application of various layers and the subsequent practice of scraping away that I come to the realization of my vision which is one in which I ‘find’ the elemental image. These layers provide the metaphoric archaeological or psychic strata which highlight the human condition at its most essential level, its essence.”

Andrea works from her private studio in Toronto, where she also offers professional workshops for artists on "Mylar-Explorations of Surface," Mixed Media with Attitude," "Becoming Inspired," and "The Expressive Gesture."

Her art is in private and corporate collections, including Ernst & Young, Dieckmann & Assoc. (Chicago), Magna International, Nesbitt-Burns and Ontario Hydro.

In some of Andrea's canvases, one can probably detect a sway of Mark Rothko; On the subject matter, her leaning to the past, mythology and psychic archetypes perhaps reveal her sympathy to Carl Jung. Such a combination seems to generate rather interesting effect inviting to the intriguing "meditative" experience. Not surprisingly though, considering that meditation, dream, myth and art are deemed to have the same roots in the human psychological constitution.
