True North Strong and Free by Andrea Macleod Art in Newmarket

Andrea grew up fascinated with the human face and could always be found, pencil in hand, sketching and drawing portraits of family and friends. Her passion for art and the human form has taken her on an incredible journey from the RCMP to Forensic Artistry. Regardless of where her creative journey has taken her, her delight is clear when she is behind a canvass and painting. This is where Ms. MacLeod shines and where her abundant love of life comes through most engagingly. Ms. MacLeod credits her desire to give ‘voice’ to nature and its inhabitants, that is inspiration to the intricate, detailed and fascinating subjects she portrays. A pause of wonder in the privileged moments she has captured. Ms. MacLeod hopes that her works create excitement and give the viewer pause to connect and feel that which is being evoked: innocence, spirit and soul.
