Some one brought Sunflowers, 2023

I made this studio painting after a Sunday lunch party with friends. Someone brought Sunflowers that lit up the table and and coloured the afternoon bright and warm.

Andrea Wilson is a Sydney artist and, until recently, an architect. She began painting in 2017 and shortly thereafter clinched the Waverley 9 x 5 Landscape Impressionism Prize. The early accolade compelled Wilson to ‘pack up her architecture practice and change her life to that of a painter.

Wilson has enjoyed finalist spots (and the occasional prize) in many art prizes since then including the Salon des Refuses, the Ravenswood Art prize, the National Emerging art prize and the Blake prize. She has exhibited with Michael Reid Northern Beaches, Michael Reid Southern Highlands and Kate Nixon in Rushcutters Bay.
