Andrea Hooge is an artist based out of Vancouver, BC, Canada. She has been featured in six solo shows in or near Vancouver, and has been showing her work for many years in group shows and as part of an artist collective, Phantoms in the Front Yard. She earned her BA from the University of the Fraser Valley, where she majored in Psychology and minored in Visual Arts.

Andrea focuses mainly on figurative oil paintings and scratchboards, and while many of her works are on wood or hardboard panels, she also creates unique cutouts that move away from conventional shapes. Andrea takes great delight in creating and using personal symbols and objects that draw inspiration from vintage children's books and toys, while exploring her childhood interpretations of religion, heritage, and family traditions to influence her work. Andrea seeks to draw in an audience by both delighting and disturbing them with vaguely familiar storybook scenes. She places an emphasis on references to eggs by visualizing egg-related idioms, while also playing around with the idea of hiding "easter eggs," or inside jokes, surprises, and hidden meanings to create continuity across different mediums and themes within her current, past, and future works.
