Andrea will present her first solo show at a commercial gallery in October 2007 at PanAmerican Projects, Miami, which will include a video performance and installation as well as a new series of photographs. She will also be presenting her photographs and a live performance work in Buenos Aires Argentina in November.

In her work she questions the boundaries that have traditionally divided artistic disciplines, taking on multiple roles using her own body as subject, object, and medium. For many years she worked as an artists' model. These experiences informed her current work, in which she mediates the space between the world inside an artwork and the one our bodies inhabit. Her work continues the legacy of feminist and performance art. 

Andrea has taught traditional and innovative visual art and movement courses for ten years, including "The Body in Visual Art" at the Eugene Lang College, The New School,"Sculpture and the Body" at the University of Washington Experimental College, "Interdisciplinary Collaboration" at SUNY Purchase, and "Mideastern Dance" at the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning. She is a member of the socially conscious dance group PURE (Public Urban Ritual Experiment.) She has taught as a visiting artist in the New York City public schools with The Dreamyard Project and The Brooklyn Arts Council.
