Artist profile

Andrea Hytch

Originally from the north Antrim coast of N.Ireland, Andrea Hytch moved to England to study 3D Design, before embarking on a career in art and design education.

Now working from her home-based studio in Matlock, she primarily creates paintings using oil and cold wax medium.

Inspired by the local Derbyshire landscape, her semi-abstract work is vibrant in colour and heavily textured. Her compositions are allowed to slowly evolve over a number of weeks, with layers of colour and texture added and scraped back, until a harmonious balance of elements is achieved. A love of colour prevades throughtout her work, with riotous colour combinations used to build up layers of texture, creating detailed surfaces, rich with imagery and pattern.
