Andrea Sanders was born in New York in 1969 and grew up in the suburbs of New York City. After graduating from The University of Virginia in 1991 with a Bachelor of Arts in both Fine Art and English Literature, she was accepted to the Vermont Studio Center where she spent a month making mixed media work before returning to New York to live in Brooklyn. In 1996 she received her Masters in Fine Art from the Photography & Related Media Department at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, culminating in an exhibition of photographic mixed media works at the Visual Arts Gallery in Soho. She was accepted to the Bronx Museum’s Artists in the Marketplace seminar program, resulting in a 1997 museum exhibition, and since then has exhibited in numerous group shows in and around the New York City area. Andrea’s work deals with the psychology of home and space and along with photographs, it has often incorporated a variety of materials including, metal, glass, and found or natural materials. Her current body of work is comprised primarily of digital photographic images. Her studio is located in Brooklyn, where she also continues to reside.
