My name is Andrea Merredew, I'm a Calgary artist and facilitator. I believe that art matters and it has the power to transform people's lives and help protect the earth.  I have been involved with social and environmental justice work for the past 25 years and in 2009 I started Springwood Studio to support the health of communities and the earth through land-based programming for children, teens and adults.

 

I grew up in Montreal, surrounded by people who made beautiful things and they inspired me to make things too. I found freedom in working with my hands and  communicating through sculpture, photography and mixed media collage.  

 

I currently offer land art workshops and facilitate a monthly gathering in the forest. You can read my eco arts blog and sign up for my monthly newsletter.  

 

You can find my Forest Jewellery at the Leighton Art Centre Gallery Shop and my online shop.​  Each piece is handcrafted, sustainably made and one of a kind.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you find something that you love.
