Currently living in Collingwood, ON, Andrea Currie is an emerging artist and entrepreneur. Andrea's trademark fine art drawings focus on trees. Using pointillism, cross-hatching and shading, she re-captures classical pen and ink techniques. Andrea combines an Honors English Literature degree from the University of Guelph and a Diploma of Education from Newcastle University, Australia with a passion for cultivating connections by launching her new company PomonaLIFE.
PomonaLIFE is a community for artists from all disciplines to showcase their finished work in a unique and collaborative environment. From Roman mythology, Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit trees, gardens and orchards was meticulous in the craft of cultivation. Like Pomona, artists mirror her strengths, layering hours, days and sometimes years cultivating their craft.
Andrea’s current project: Sacred Worship - Growth, Decay and Resurrection, a 2013 Calendar Folio, is dedicated to Andrea’s mother - Susan Currie - who succumbed to cancer in October 2011.
Each of these trees in the folio is inspired by the foliage associated with the calendar months as well as the myths and legends that accompany them. Andrea also incorporated elements of her own skin and body depicting the theme of metamorphosis with her personal representation in each month.
Calendar 2013 is $20, and $15 of every calendar sold is donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
“Cancer has been a sleeping giant in my life for as long as I can remember, but my mother showed me with strength, love and poise, that there is a community of hope which breathes effortlessly.
My mother is my inspiration and my strength. This calendar is a unique tribute to a wonderful and kind woman, as much as it is a symbol of life’s constant change and our own beautiful metamorphosis because of it.”

I'm embracing my early 30's. I have an incredible husband and we have two amazing and beautiful daughters.
4 years ago I agreed to take over the role of Volunteer Run Director for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. Not knowing than how much it would impact my life. I now eat, sleep & breathe 'FUN'draising!
