Shop Talk with Andrea Myers
Andrea Myers is an artist and educator living in NE Ohio. Her work often utilizes painted paper, fabric, scissors, and a sewing machine to create her multi-layered pieces. Even with being a widely exhibited artist, those with a Summit County library card can rent her work through our Akron Art Library program. Hear Myers discusses her relationship with spring, her motivation during these times, as well as the work she is currently creating in her home studio.
