BIO/STATEMENT:

Michelle Andrade was born in Encino, CA in 1972. She received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2005 and an MFA from Otis College of Art and Design in 2007. Michelle has exhibited in Chicago, Houston, and throughout Southern California. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

Michelle Andrade’s work is a journalistic exploration into the everyday sprawl of the mundane. Her brightly colored, whimsical drawings draw the viewer in, but a closer look reveals her personal anxieties, struggles, and insecurities. The fragmented thoughts and phrases that run through her drawings are both dark and humorous. Taken out of context, these thoughts and phrases, juxtaposed with a playful aesthetic become accessible.
