Top 3 Value Bombs:

This conviction in her work helped her identify her unique artistic voice and develop her sculptures with a strong sense of identity and purpose.
2. The Impact of Motherhood on Art: Andrea credits her growth as an artist to becoming a mother, which made her more empathetic and helped her articulate her values more clearly. She encourages artists to incorporate their personal experiences and values into their artwork, making it more authentic and meaningful.
3. Leveraging Social Media for Career Growth: Andrea shares her experience of strategically using her Instagram account, which has paid off in terms of visibility and career opportunities.
