AEH | Artistic Antipodean

Previously represented by some of New Zealand's leading galleries, Hopkins now chooses to represent herself and be the first voice in the ongoing conversation between artist and audience.

Of Maori, New Zealand and Welsh decent - Andrea is completely influenced by the Maori concepts of Wairua (Spiritual), Hinengaro (Emotional), Whanau (Family) and Tangata (the Physical Being) Her work is a testament to living as a multi-cultural antipodean woman in contemporary Aotearoa | New Zealand
