She draws with a marker in her right hand while her left arm rests on the table with her hand supporting her head. The drawing features a repeated pattern of a loopy grid. Various rolls of materials stand upright in the background over her right shoulder.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/o80jydf0/production/f96a5b72ebb2f2d31ac475594b222bf0cdbbbfad-1200x1200.jpg?auto=format&fit=max&q=75&w=600)

Drawn towards tactile experiences, Andrea Arts explores intimacy through material qualities. Her motifs are informed by paying attention to small day-to-day moments: a conversation with a friend, a fleeting thought or feeling, or shapes and details observed while moving through the world.
