Andrea Macleod is a dynamic and inspiring artist known for her vibrant and expressive paintings of both animals and people. Andrea has a natural ability to transform her profound life experiences into powerful visual narratives.
With a distinguished 24 year career in law enforcement, and as a Corporal in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Andrea dedicated herself to serving her community and supporting countless victims of domestic violence.
Her transition into the art world has allowed her to express her creativity through bold, colourful, and expressive paintings that resonate deeply with viewers. Each piece serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience that is inherent in all of us, ultimately encouraging those who might doubt themselves to recognize their own strengths. Through her art, Andrea continues to inspire and uplift, making a significant impact both on the canvas and in the lives of others.
Quote:
My hope is that my art will encourage others in embracing their own empowerment and to inspire their ability to be bold. It’s about being a voice for the voiceless. A champion of the meek and an ambassador for all.
