Andrea Almond
I have had a keen love of art my whole life. At an early age I was influenced by my father’s interest in oil painting, and it was he who exposed my siblings and I to the idea of a life centered around artistic expression. I'm a native Texan, and it was while living in Dallas and working in the corporate world that I began selling my art in galleries. I have painted full time since moving with my husband, Jeff Sibley, to San Antonio in 2012.
In addition to earning a bachelor's degree in Fine Art, I’ve studied with numerous artists who have been a great source of knowledge and inspiration- artists such as Kim English and Calvin Laing. I find painting outdoors ("plein air") to be particularly compelling, and I have been fortunate enough to do so in locations as varied as Venice, Paris, San Miguel, and Big Bend. In recent years I have spent more time in studio, where I have developed my individual "style," which combines the Impressionist and Abstract. Painting in studio allows me to paint larger pieces and take my time to complete my vision.
In my painting, it is the quality of light- natural or artifical- that brings excitement to a work and allows me to take what I see and make it my own. Using observation, reference photos, and drawings I process an idea by analyzing it in terms of abstract shapes, light, and shadow, changing the emphasis on the various elements in order to express my own vision. My goal is to convey something specific about my reaction to a place or a moment in time yet to express the "essence" of my subject, allowing the viewer to supply their own interpretation.
