Bio
Alvin is a fine artist who’s work is recognized and exhibited throughout the United States. She is known for her portrayal of everyday objects from nostalgic popular culture - candy, junk food and toys – painted in a style located somewhere between 19th-century Impressionism and more modern Photorealism.
California-born and raised, with a degree from the renowned Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Alvin is a fairly recent transplant to the Hudson Valley, breaking from the commercial world of movie marketing to the more fine-art-centered world of New York City.
The early years of her career were as an animation designer and layout artist for many national commercials and as a layout artist at Hanna Barbera. Andrea and her noted illustrator husband/partner John created ad campaigns and posters for many major motion pictures. In addition she is credited with illustrating many children’s books for Disney publishing and packaging art for Disney consumer products.
