After graduating from Leeds University Andrea Hunter returned home to the Dales to work as a professional artist. She worked predominantly in charcoal and pastel for several years, before her interest in textiles uncovered a real love for felt making.
Andrea Hunter tries to create depth, subtlety, texture and a real feeling of movement in her felt pictures. These qualities are born from a technique of working with fine layers of wool as if it were paint. It is this technique and a strong illustrative dimension, which makes her work distinctly different from traditional felt art work.
