the artist

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Andrea. A to the N, D.

I’m a Latina, puerto rican/ peruvian mix girly. Mother to an amazing 8 year old superhuman. My favorite color is GREEN, not lime but like a deep emerald. Double espressos and Iced lemon water make me happy. I’m and introverted extrovert, google it ;) I rather listen to r&b, hip-hop, soft rock, salsa or bachata throwbacks than anything NEW. My hobbies are cycling, being a plant lady, and playing pokemon arceus on my nintendo switch.

Let us go back, by the age of 9 I knew I loved all things beauty, fashion, makeup, hair, nails. Shortly after in middle school I discovered I had a pretty good eye for brows. I started doing my sisters and even older brothers eyebrows at home. Even though i started with just a tweezer I knew that’s not where I wanted my art to end. Along with LOVING the beauty in our natural facial features, I was also intrigued by drawing & sketching anything in realism. Eyes, faces, eyebrows, lips were such an inspiration. I didn’t know then where these passions would take me but here we are.

Fast forward to 2022, After a decade of retail and customer service. I began to feel no sense of love on my day to day work and I couldn’t shake the feeling. It was time to stop letting others expectations and my own fears and doubts in the way of the life I wanted, Something had to be done. I decided to pursue my passions and I graduated from Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics and shortly after received my license in esthetics. Having a license in hand lit a fire for more. Later the same year I received certification in Microblading/ shading and Lip blush/ lip neutralization. I studied at Jessica Bruns Micropigmentation Academy. In permanent makeup began a new love, where I could apply my natural talents for drawing, sketching with precision and detail. This isn’t just a job, this is my purpose. Seeing women and mens faces brighten up after a transformation on any imperfection or insecurity. I’m here for it !
