She is often busy at work in her home studio creating and writing, or out in the world connecting with people through art. She believes that through meaningful and thoughtful work people can grow, transform and heal. Andrea McLean is a 25 year old full-time artist in Calgary AB. She has been teaching both Fine Art and Emotional Intelligence through Art classes around Alberta. Emotions are the main driving factor in people's lives, yet our collective understanding of emotions is limited: this motivates Andrea. She use art as a tool to help people dig into their own emotional landscape and heal with self-direction. With much encouragement from her incredible husband, fellow artists, as well as a few twists of fate she is working as a full time artist to bring joy, insight and inspiration into the world.
"I believe we all have the ability to make lasting, healthy changes in our lives using art. My role is to teach all ages how to express feelings through visual art and let emotion be a welcomed navigator in our lives, not a dictator." - Andrea McLeanview less
