My name is Andrea, Arie to close  and online friends, and the thing is that I actually make a lot of things. I am an Exploring Artist, meaning I explore different creative outlets instead of just one, and an Author aspiring for publication. 

I like to paint watercolor, acrylic, and oil paintings. I have dabbled in watercolor for many years, inspired by the colors and creations of Stephanie Law. Acrylic & Oils mediums are quite new, and the images of Design Seeds, friends photography, and even yarn colorways have inspired many different pieces! I am also a Bird Whisperer Project member. I have been playing with Acrylic Pouring a lot as it sedates my need to be around colors.

I am also a Knitter and have been for 12 years now. I love lacework and shawls the most, but have a few sweaters and things up in my closet. I have three published designs on Ravelry, and I also have a small line of Stitch markers and Row Counter bracelets on my Etsy Page. 


At the core, I have and always will be a Writer. My writing started in post-by-post Roleplay, but it has certainly evolved a lot over the past years. Creating more and more original worlds, lore, and Characters that have grown from the myths and mythos of the worlds. And with the help of Patreon, the goal is to help me explore art but also to inevitably pay for services that I will need in order to reach publication. From book covers, proofreading and editors, it's an expensive journey and there is no way I could do it on my own.

Naturally, the writing aspect on Patreon is going to be one of the higher tier levels, but it allows for an open Beta/Alpha readership and access to some very private notations and lore that I won't be sharing anywhere else. (dun dun dun..)

Help me write my books and create art by supporting me! Every little penny that is funneled through patron helps me cover the various costs of ALL my work, with the goals of Showing my art at Conventions. Selling Prints. Selling Shawls and other beautiful knitted things. But mostly, A peace of mind to write and share stories that I feel are important in the world. Everyone has a voice, and while creating beautiful things is "fun", I strongly believe they are very important regardless of their medium.
