Cairns based artist Andrea Huelin owes a failed job application for becoming a full time painter. 

Andrea works on the ethos of pushing yourself and putting yourself out there. An attitude that saw her exhibiting in the Cairns Regional Gallery, which is where James Dorahy who was working with the Michael Reid group at the time saw her work. James was so impressed he posted it to Instagram,  where Michael Reid saw Andrea's work and commented. Which is when Andrea put herself out there again and messaged back to Michael. 

On today's episode of Interview With An Artist Andrea and I talk about a range things including:

  • her career transition from radio broadcaster for the ABC to being a full time artist
  • how she pushes her work to keep evolving
  • the process for creating the Four Pillars Gin Christmas artwork that was used on the 2021 Christmas Gin labels and tea towels
  • how she approached painting for a European market vs an Australian market
  • and how her son is a fabulous critic.

Enjoy meeting the delightful Andrea Huelin.
