About the Item

Artist Comments
Of this great voyage, Andrea Doss says, "She is a great adventurer of many lands, where she has seen a million places and times, and lived a million lives. Braving the wilds, there is no mountain too high or sea too deep that will keep from sharing her knowledge with every creature - great, small, furry, scaly, feathered or tentacled - in the world."


About the Artist
Andrea Doss discovered that there were stories hiding in her paintbrush, and has been bringing them to life with her art ever since. Her paintings capture the essence of children’s books and lullabies. Andrea’s love for fairytales and storytelling is evident in her personification of animal friendships and activities. Adventurous, sweet, and whimsical are appropriate words to describe the artist’s fanciful characters. Andrea lives in Texas and works from her home, always closely supervised by her opinionated one-eyed cat named Poe.
