A painter since childhood, Andrea Gaye has exhibited extensively in America, in England (Brighton and London) and France (Paris). Art education includes the Brighton School of Art, a year of independent study in Paris, and twelve years as Assistant to the renowned Spanish artist/teacher Sebastian Capella. Workshops include John Asaro, Ned Mueller, Ovanes Berberian, Herb Olds and Carolyn Anderson.

An avid traveler, Andrea loves to paint finished landscapes en plein air, while using her camera and quick sketches to inspire larger paintings in her studio. Her figurative work includes casual portraits of children at play, nude studies, and colorful scenes of daily life in the countries in Latin America and Europe that she visits. All paintings are in oil on linen canvas.

Her many corporate commissions include the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, the Sea Lodge, several hospitals for the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, the Memphis Women ’s Hospital and the Women ’s Wing at Scripps Hospital in La Jolla. Her paintings are in private and corporate collections in the United States, Europe and Australia.

Andrea's painting 'First Dip' received an Award of Excellence at the Oil Painters of America annual juried competition and show at Missoula Montana in May, 2006.
