Born of Hungarian parents in Saint Paul l’Hermite Quebec, a small town outside of Montreal, Andrea grew up in a multi-cultural and multi-lingual environment.

Self taught, she has always been interested in art and has drawn and painted all her life. While attending McGill University, in sciences, she discovered the Art Education Department and decided to take a graphics course. This was her first experience with a structured art programme and she instantly felt a bonding for the subject matter.

The following year Andrea transferred to the Faculty of Education and graduated from McGill in 1976 in Art Education. She later returned to McGill for her Masters Degree in Education.

Printmaking led to sculpture and painting , techniques that Andrea feels complement each other .The structural qualities of each of these techniques is reflected in her work. Andrea has been teaching high school and CEGEP ( junior college) art and art history ever since.

Busy on the conference circuit and active in programme development and application, as well as raising a family , she is actively involved in the Hungarian community in Montreal as well as being involved, on a regular basis, with various charitable organisations. Andrea has also been involved with the theatre, doing the scenography for several plays.
