About the Item

Andrea Allen captures the carefree spirit of a seaside escape in Brollies and Dollies, an expressive oil on canvas painting brimming with movement and joy. The composition is alive with figures wading through the water, their silhouettes softened by loose, impressionistic brushstrokes that evoke the fluidity of the sea. There’s a delightful sense of spontaneity in the way the figures interact with the waves, as if the ocean itself is part of the dance.
The palette is a refreshing mix of cool blues and gentle turquoises, contrasted with sunlit highlights that bring warmth and depth to the water. Pops of color from swimwear and parasols add a playful vibrancy, enhancing the feeling of a perfect summer’s day. The artist’s expressive handling of paint gives the scene a sense of constant motion, as ripples shimmer and light glistens across the surface.
Signed and ready to display, this captivating piece is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online.
Artist biography:
Born and raised in the picturesque countryside of North Yorkshire, Andrea’s artistic journey began at Harrogate Art College, where she earned a diploma in Art and Design. She then pursued a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting at Portsmouth Polytechnic, graduating in 1990.
Eager to explore her passion for fashion and textiles, Andrea furthered her studies at The London College of Fashion, where she specialized in Clothing Design and Production. This led to a distinguished career in costume design, working on numerous productions for theatre, film, and television.
After 27 years in London, Andrea relocated with her family to the rolling landscapes of West Oxfordshire. Surrounded by the beauty of the countryside, she rekindled her passion for painting—first experimenting with mixed media before transitioning to oils. The depth, texture, and vibrant color possibilities of oil painting allowed her to fully realize her artistic vision.
Andrea’s work is a heartfelt celebration of nature, storytelling, and everyday life. Her paintings—rich in intricate details—depict animals, birds, and people engaged in simple yet evocative moments. Drawing inspiration from her own experiences, she weaves elements of her family life into her work, reimagining cherished memories of countryside walks, seaside holidays, and childhood adventures in her signature multi-layered, color-infused style.
Her artistic influences span Naïve and Folk Art, as well as the Impressionists’ masterful use of color, texture, and composition. These inspirations, combined with her distinct approach, have earned her recognition in both the art and design worlds.
Andrea has exhibited in solo and group shows across London, Oxfordshire, and Hampshire, gaining a loyal following among collectors worldwide. Much of her current work is commission-based, including a recent winter series of local scenes for a private client.
Her bold use of color and pattern has also captured the attention of the fashion industry. She collaborated with J&M Davidson on a capsule collection of printed bags, charms, and artworks exhibited in their London and Tokyo flagship stores. In 2021, she designed bespoke tiles for a Swiss Alps house restoration, and in 2024, she created a collection of printed beach towels for Tiffany & Co..
In addition to her fine art practice, Andrea has expanded her creative reach into textiles and home décor. Inspired by her painting Synchronised Sardines, she developed a range of woven blankets and is currently exploring ideas for wallpaper and textile prints.
Andrea now resides and works in North Somerset, where she continues to create captivating works that celebrate the beauty of everyday life through color, texture, and storytelling.

“I observe the landscape as a myriad of shapes and patterns to be reimagined using bold colour and texture. A desire to feel connected to nature is my inspiration, the process of making art aligns all the things I’m passionate about and my hope is to convey this sentiment in my work.”- Andrea Allen
