Andrea Trombetta has an active studio practice as a performance and fiber artist, living in Athens, GA with her daughter, Isabella Rose. “My research explores the body as media, materiality and site specificity. I strive to produce mysterious and innovative works of art that invite others to connect with reality or illusion. Through performative action I create conceptual and body-oriented art in order to share visions, observations and the inevitable transitions of the human condition.”
