Elements of Christian and Byzantine styles influenced her earlier work which she happily called Byzantine Pop. She looks to the color of Fauvism and energy in paintings as early on as Matisse’s or as late as Peter Max’s and has been influenced by pattern and designs of Mexico, South America, and Africa. All of her paintings develop through a solid control of her paintbrush and mix of hues. Andrea focuses on the relationships of color with concentration on shapes and lines rendering a smooth, flat finish to the final painting. Monroe has exhibited at Cactus Gallery, La Guitarra California Festival, and 11:11 Art Collective. She is a member of the San Fernando Valley Arts Council and Public Arts Initiative of San Fernando Valley.
