About Andra Douglas:
Andra Douglas left Florida for New York City in the 1980\u2019s to earn a Masters in Communications from Pratt Institute. She has lived in New York for over thirty years. Originally from Zephyrhills, a tranquil town in Central Florida, she attended Florida State University, playing Rugby, flag football and excelling at golf while majoring in communications design to hone her art and photographic skills. Next, Andra ventured into publishing at Cosmopolitan magazine, continuing to an executive position as VP Creative for WarnerVision Entertainment/Atlantic Records, after which she was an independent consultant for the entertainment industry with clients like Disney, Universal Records and BMG Music.
In 2000, she acquired the NY Sharks, a women\u2019s tackle football team, for which she also quarterbacked. Shortly afterwards, Andra established FINS UP, a foundation that strengthens young women\u2019s self esteem through participation in team sports. Her first book, \u201cBlack and Blue\u201d touches on her life experience as a non-conforming female growing up in a conservative rural environment, and the subsequent unfurling of her life as an empowered executive and pioneer for women in American football.
In a recent show, \u2018Phizog\u2019, Andra was inspired by the diversity of the players. She offered this work as a tribute to the female football players of all leagues and ages fueled by the force of their convictions. With renewed fervor, Andra Douglas has returned to the studio, creating artwork that manually layers mixed media on her digitally manipulated printed images. Her perspective communicates \u201cmade in America for the world\u201d, delivering a distinctive artistic message.
The art of Andra Douglas captures a passing moment. In \u2018Elegiacal\u2019 she touched on rural scenes with a wistful tone. She returns to these moments with her new show \u2018Exit 65\u2019. Themes of loss, adventure, mystery and celebrations of landscapes and passages are evident in the work. Distant blurred images of people in motion as well as abstracted images of \u2018Red Car\u2019 creating a drama of stillness, add to the force of the show.
Raised on a ranch with a father whose church was nature, she learned by watching colors, animals and seasons. She has developed her technique with mastery, command and fluidity.
