Area of Operation: Coquitlam

Andrea Matus deMeng is a combined media artist living in Vancouver BC who exhibits as well as teaches her unique combination of painting, collage, assemblage and sculpture throughout the world. In her art, Andrea creates powerful portraits skillfully combining colour, symbolism and ornamentation. Each motif is a transport to a different time and place, and through the process unrelated and discordant shapes and designs are manipulated to find balance and harmony where at first there seems none. Her passions and strong feminine aesthetic can be seen in all of her endeavours. The improvisational nature of collage coupled with the very deliberate method of painting creates a balance of spontaneity and premeditation in her work. Inspired by her extensive travels, a unique personal history and too many artistic influences to list, Andrea hopes to inspire others to live their creative lives and pursue their dreams of transformation.

• Curio Chronicles: Booking, Collage and Assemblage

  Unlock the secrets of the Curio Chronicles, where each page, binding, and embellishment becomes part of an artful narrative. You’ll create a collection of hand-bound books, each capturing fragments of mystery, memory, and imagination. We’ll work through a combination of collage, bookbinding, and assemblage techniques to produce volumes that feel like artifacts discovered in a hidden library. Craft pages on a range of materials like wood, mica, fabric, and metal, weaving layers of texture and story. As we bind these pages, you’ll learn Mixed Coptic and Long Stitch techniques. To house these treasures, you’ll design a personalized display box—a cabinet of curiosities—an exquisite showcase. Curio Chronicles is a hands-on exploration of art and artifact, blending personal expression with timeless craftsmanship.
