NXS Contemporary Art Gallery will be hosting a welcoming artist reception on Thursday, February 5th from 4:30 to 7:00 for local artists Andrea Doss. NXS Contemporary Art Gallery is located at 102 Clarksville Street in downtown Paris.
Andrea Doss was born an artist, and painted her early masterpieces just about anywhere. In college, Andrea studied English and art, and decided to spend her life doing what she loves: creating art for children.
Andrea says the whimsical storybook art she creates is inspired by her girls and their wonderful imaginations. “At their insistence, everything I make has a story to go along with it,” says Andrea. “In our stories, monsters are usually just hungry and if you feed them they’ll be your best friend, friendship is the most powerful magic, and endings are always happy.”
Andrea now lives in Paris, Texas, with her husband, two daughters, and two magniloquent cats who generously allow them to live in their house.
Andrea is a local artist and a published illustrator. She will have copies of the book she illustrated “Do your ears hang low” on hand for sale.
She will also be teaching a children’s collage workshop on Saturday, February 7th. Call the gallery to sign up or for more details 903.272.4639.
