| Andrea Draper | |
New media Artist. Born in London, Currently living in Melbourne, Australia. |
|
| About the Artist | |
I started out as a painter but then discovered the immediacy of digital art...I say immediacy, but it can take me quite a while to create a piece.When I produce a piece I know what I want to produce before hand; chance plays a very small role. Therefore the computer is the perfect medium for me to create art…and get distracted by ebay. |
