A Little Bit About Me

Hi There! My name is Andrea and I am the face behind Little Art Adventures. I’ve already given a little bit of background on how Little Art Adventures came to be on my about page, so today I thought I would share a little bit more about me!

I was born, raised and educated in Southern California. And while it is basically sunny year-round, you can always find me cozying up to a fireplace, wearing sweatshirts and dreaming of rainy days. I absolutely romanticize cold, rainy days with a book and warm blanket. Which I think makes total sense why I love stories like Harry Potter, the Chronicles of Narnia and Sherlock Holmes.

Before Little Art Adventures, I worked in tech. Ultimately, I realized that I wanted to take a stab at making an income in a more creative field, which is how Little Art Adventures came to be. I have always been a creative person but it took me MANY years to find the correct creative outlet. I’ve explored piano, guitar, ballet, jazz, salsa dancing, pottery, ceramics, acrylics, wood working, embroidery, needlepoint, plaster art, choir, acting, stained glass, cake decorating, graphic design, scrapbook… just to name a few!

In 2018, I took a salsa class with some of my coworkers and discovered the magic of partner dancing. Salsa didn’t completely align with my preferences so I decided to test out swing dancing! Looking back, it now seems so obvious to me that I was meant to be a swing dancer. Since then, I have gone on to compete with my partner and with a team. So when I am not book nooking, I am likely dancing Lindy Hop!

I have absolutely LOVED sharing my art with all of you. The internet can be a scary and mean place, but I feel extremely lucky that I have found a very loving and kind corner. I’ve received so much encouragement and support as I explore building Little Art Adventures. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey! I can’t wait to see where it takes us!
