Lilibeth Andre

I was born in Cuernavaca, Mexico. I live and work in Houston, Texas. Capturing the serenity and strength of my subject leads me to yearn to connect with its light and vibration. I use strong color, composition and texture to represent it's power. Preserving the calm, force and expression of its moment in time. I follow the call of the impressionists and the Mexican muralists to fearlessly capture my subject. I work with oils but also may rely on acrylics, watercolors, and colored pencil to achieve the objectives. My contribution towards a smaller footprint comes in the visual conservation of my subject with the use of a canvas, solvent-free paints and brushless work.

I studied architectural design and art in Mexico City. Since 1993 I have studied in Houston with various local artists such as Jo Mullendore, landscapes and acrylic; Nikki Szeto, portraits; Bruce Williamson, a la prima still life and landscapes; Darra Keeton, figure drawing at Rice University; and William Kalwick, Jr., portrait and figure, always exploring my personal growth as an individual artist.
