Andie Freeman Fine Art

Andie's original paintings, card sets, prints, wood prints, pendants and story boxes will be available at our fall sale, which will be held on Saturday, November 23, from 10-3 at the Pfafftown Farm (2233 Vienna Dozier Road). The rain date is November 24th, and our fabulous fall flyer will be posted soon!

Andie creates original oil paintings that are reflections of her spiritual journey. She utilizes strong areas of contrast, light and dark, movement and stillness. These represent the fragility of life and the passage of time. She also creates story boxes, historic dioramas of a specific person and time: a satisfying way to live history today in a funky little box.
