Andrea Vargas-Mendoza
Andrea Vargas-Mendoza merges aspects of abstract impressionism with a contemporary purpose. Signature works include life-size drawings with energy, dynamic compositions, and bold mark-making. Also distinct to her artistic process is the vision of the work— narratives with intrinsic symbols that revere nature and the elements.
Vargas lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, but was raised along the California coast. After she received her Bachelor of Arts in pre-law from the University of California, Berkeley, she began traveling between desert landscapes and coastal cities. Since then, she has continued to produce artwork and installations that focus on ecological relationships, light, nature, and aspects of transformation.
