About the Artist

Andrea first started drawing when she was 4 years old and has not stopped. In 1994, she received a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Art at UC San Diego. She started drawing professionally while in college, getting discovered by a friend in Animation class, who arranged for her first paying gig. She drew at Nordstrom drawing glamorous women after beauty makeovers and was hooked. Andrea started out in portraiture before venturing into caricature and her style is a blend of portraiture and cartoon with a strong likeness as the foundation for a cartoon portrait. Each face is unique and presents different challenges to draw, where the possibilities to caricature are endless. As an artist/ entertainer, Andrea strives to bring out the best in each person she draws, with drawings that delight and entertain. Andrea draws for special events and provides unique entertainment throughout San Diego and Southern California. Andrea has been drawing professionally for over 35 years. She drew caricatures as a cruise ship entertainer for several years, traveling the world with her easel, drawing caricatures as a treasured keepsake. Andrea was honored to be the Poolside Caricaturist for Loews Coronado Bay Resort for five years. Prior to that, she owned a retail caricature booth at Belmont Park in Mission Beach for many years. Andrea is a professional member of the Internstional Society of Caricature Artists (ISCA) and attends the annual convention to learn from some of the best artists in the world to continually grow and develop her craft. For personalized and fun entertainment, Andrea would love to draw caricatures at your event!
