about
Andrea Ruedy Trimble is an artist based in Charlottesville, Virginia who primarily works with ink and watercolor on paper. Andrea’s work explores connections between the built environment and the natural world, such as how nature intertwines with human-made infrastructure; how windows frame transitions between buildings and the earth, trees, water, and sky; and the effects of our changing climate on our urban and natural landscapes.
Andrea’s work is influenced and informed by her degrees in architecture, historic preservation, and sustainability, and as her work as Sustainability Director at the University of Virginia. Andrea is particularly interested in the intersections of art and place - community-based art, art activism and art education. She is co-leader of Draw Charlottesville, a collaborative art project that encourages people of all ages and levels of artistic ability to create sketches of places in Charlottesville that are meaningful to them.
Andrea is a juried associate artist member of McGuffey Art Center, is on the Board of Directors of Second Street Gallery and has shown her work in several regional galleries.
