Andrea Petitto’s father was a sculptor and Andrea grew up making things with clay. Instead of the usual children’s literature, Andrea was fascinated by the images in large folio books of Rodin and Michelangelo sculptures. These influences can still be seen in the strong sense of solidity and form in her paintings. After a career as university professor and industry consultant, she moved to art.

For 20 years, Andrea has devoted herself to painting. She also became an avid amateur dog trainer and handler. Andrea has combined her love of dogs and other animals with her interest in figural art leading to many paintings of her own dogs as well as others she encounters on the beaches of Cape Cod.

Andrea taught art classes at Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua NY, Cape Cod Art Association in Barnstable and Creative Arts Center, Chatham. She has had solo shows in Canandaigua and at the Copley Society in Boston, and has won many awards Rochester NY, the Copley Society in Boston, and on Cape Cod.
