Andrea Dupree is an artist and educator whose work explores themes of interconnectedness, drawing inspiration from animism and ecological awareness. Rooted in her upbringing in South Louisiana and shaped by her move to rural Northern New Mexico, where she is currently restoring a micro-farm, Andrea’s practice centers on ecological and fiber arts including felting, hand embroidery, and the use of natural and reclaimed materials to create pieces that function as altars. These works act as meditative spaces for reflection, blending material and spiritual worlds while honoring the relationships between humans, land, and the unseen.
Andrea’s artistic process is closely connected to her work as a Yoga and Early Childhood educator. Drawing from her experiences facilitating Yoga-informed and Reggio-inspired learning for children and adults, she brings a sense of playful experimentation and intuitive listening into her art practice. Her work offers an invitation to explore deeper layers of connection—with self, place, and the more-than-human world. Through all stages of her practice, Andrea uses art as a tool for meaning-making, ecological awareness, and spiritual exploration.
