I started painting at the age of 2, when I won my first painting competition. I developed a hobby of animation drawing while in school which grew into a serious past time. My love for colours and landscape was noticed by everyone in various local exhibitions and competitions I took part in as a child. I specially like doing florals and still life and feel inspired by the works of early 16th century European artists.
I was approached by British Fine Art Gallery in 2000 for displaying my work on-line for them. I have been marketing my art work ever since and have met many different artists and celebrities from various fields of art and entertainment through my work.
I have personally promoted my work extensively in India and UK which has attracted tremendous response from everywhere. I have also been influenced by Russian artists of St. Petersburg, a place close to my heart for its immense beauty and talent.
My clients have been from Spain, UK, Italy, Russia and India. My artworks have also been successfully displayed in art exhibitions in UK with many more exhibitions still to come.

Essex Angel
Born 1972, Essex, England. Andrea Farmer (Pannell) trained in Illustration and Graphic Design at the Havering College of Further & Higher Education (BTEC ND in Graphic Design and A’ Level Graphic Design) and the Kent Institute of Art and Design (HND Graphic Design & Illustration). She has worked as a professional artist and graphic designer for over 10 years.
Andrea’s paintings are unique and vibrant. Her work is held in collections worldwide with a variety of corporate and private commissions. Various paintings are currently on loan or long term / permanent exhibition with galleries, corporate, charity and healthcare establishments in England. Andrea will also be exhibiting extensively through to 2009 with the Rogue Gene Collective, Art4Essex, in group exhibitions and on a solo basis.
Andrea’s work is inspired by the ever changing environment plus nature’s colour, mood, texture and form. Dramatic skies, cloud formations, movement and light feature heavily in her landscape and sunset paintings. Living in Chelmsford, Essex, England the vast beautiful countryside and local views also influence her work - alongside her travels to warmer climates, especially the coasts and islands of the Mediterranean and Adriatic which feature in her tranquil seascape paintings.
Andrea’s still life and expressive abstract paintings are an expression from within the mind - an alternative and sometimes passionate, obscure and twisted view representing personal matters, feelings and emotion with regards to everyday objects in the natural world around us. She is currently working on a new collection of floral still life paintings that aim to capture her love of flora and nature.
During 2006, Andrea joined the Rogue Gene Collective - a small group of artists who are committed to helping each other attain a higher level of visibility for their work. This is done by pooling resources, information, knowledge and contacts. As well as being artists, all members act as agents, couriers and publicists for the other members at exhibitions and events around the country. The Rogue Gene Collective is part of a growing network of regional art collectives that includes Art4Essex, Art4Cheshire, The Art Collective Scotland and Original Art Exhibitions.
Andrea is also the founder member of Art4Essex dedicated to promoting professional Essex artists and their ’guests’ from surrounding areas. The collective’s aim is to exhibit their art in the public arena and to obtain higher visibility for all self-representing artists. All members are passionate about their work and committed to helping each other whilst promoting art in the local community.
During 2007, Andrea has been working with other Rogue Gene Collective artists on a series of collaborative paintings. One artist creates the background and the other completes the foreground with no discussion inbetween as to the style or subject matter of the finished artwork. This creates the opportunity to own an unusual and original artwork created together by two different artists.
Andrea Farmer Contemporary Art is a keen supporter of local art groups, community art and charity projects along with wildlife, nature and environmental causes. Andrea will loan artworks to charitable and healthcare organisations under a long term loan/exhibition agreement. She is a member of Activate and the Chelmsford Art Society.
