I work with images of the Ozark Mountains where I live. I work from my dreams and family life, from feelings and emotions, or just from the pleasure of using color and form. The response that you as the viewer make to one or the other of these paintings or drawings is where our connection is formed.

Alice Andrews lives in an old white farmhouse built in the 1800’s in the Boxley Valley in Newton County, Arkansas. Boxley is full of clear rocky creeks and pastures and is surrounded by mountains. It has the feeling of being back in time about one hundred years, and has more cow residents than people.

Alice works in both oils and pastels. Her subject matter ranges from landscapes and paintings of her home and garden, to paintings of dreams, of allegory and of pure abstraction. She received her Master of Fine Arts in Painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland, where she studied under Grace Hartigan, one of the Second Generation Abstract Expressionists. Alice has been awarded residency at The Helene Wurlitzer Foundation in Taos, New Mexico, and the respected pastel artist Wolf Kahn personally awarded her a residency at the prestigious Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont.

Alice Andrews is represented at galleries in Arkansas, San Francisco, and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
