The Seven Grandfather Teachings Indigenous Mural
May/June 2024
The Seven Grandfather Teachings Indigenous Mural was commissioned by the Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board for Saint John de Brebeuf School, 43 Spruce Street, Kingsville Ontario. After I designed the four by 24 foot mural, groups of students from grades 6, 7 and 8 assisted with painting the images.
Artist Multiple - Hope
December 2024
Working in conjunction with Feeding Windsor Essex, forty artist multiples, including drawstring bags and water bottles were created for the residents of Chateau Masson. An original mini watercolour of local birds was painted for each person and place inside of a keychain. Feeding Windsor Essex filled the bags with snacks and small gifts and they were presented to the recipients on Christmas Day.

The Soup Shack - 2025
For The Soup Shack, Andrea created two powerful, site-specific pieces: Threshold of Flight, a metal sculpture reflecting the Monarch butterfly’s migration, and Becoming, a photographic series that captures the stages of its life cycle. These works speak to themes of metamorphosis, resilience, and the strength that can emerge from even the most fragile places.
