Andrea Wheeler

Andrea discovered the joy of primitive art early in life as she developed her sewing skills. She uses coffee-dyed materials to add to the historical nature of her one-of-a-kind primitive characters. Her dolls, angels, animals and more are cherished not only for their historical correctness, but also for their innate beauty. “I think of my art as a new life for the heritage crafts of the past, resurrecting the “old ways” that honor the many artisan that have gone before me.”
