Aquascapes, Coastal Abstract Acrylics by Andrea Smith

Working as both an acrylic artist and graphic designer, Andrea Smith is the solopreneur behind 7th & Palm, founded in 2015. Covering a wide range of artistic endeavors, her current work in acrylics is inspired by the colors and textures of the Lowcountry, showcasing a range of large to small abstract coastal paintings on canvas, paper, cards, and a variety of textiles and gift items.

The upcoming “Aquascapes” show from July 25 – August 26 at Art League Gallery is a visual adventure in hue and texture, depicting the colors, lush waterlines, and coastal landscapes from an abstracted, aerial perspective. Paired with additional coastal subject matter, she allows texture and movement to show off various interpretations of watery landscapes, flora, and fauna using acrylics, brushes, palette knives, and found objects.

Andrea is well known locally for her fresh, modern line of greeting cards, paper goods, and gift items, curating her work as accessible and affordable “art for your everyday.” Also found in select gift shops around the country, you can view her work and learn more about her mission-driven brand at 7thandpalm.com or at upcoming festivals and markets.
