ANDREA MASELLA
As far back as I can remember, I was drawing. I may not have been the best artist in my 6th grade class, but I've had a passion for as long as I've known how to hold a pencil. My art is heavily inspired by real life, as I feel that I thrive in realism, however
I've begun to enjoy a more cartoon-ish style as well! If I'm not making portraits or studying still life scenery, I find that expressing various mental health struggles through my art is something that I am proud of. I have experienced a variety of symptoms and diagnoses,
but this healthy coping mechanism has been helpful through it all. Some days, I don't have the words to express my emotions, even to myself, but I find that art sometimes portrays these feelings better than any other method of expression.
As well as visual arts, I enjoy playing both the piano and clarinet, and I have a strong passion for science, in particular astrophysics. I am gradually pursuing this interest at McMaster University.
I believe that my well rounded enjoyment of subjects in many areas makes me a better artist. I can pull from these topics and create pieces that make me happy, and express real experiences that others can relate to in one way or another
