Andrea Cooper

Andrea Cooper was born in St. John's, Newfoundland. Cooper has spent her artistic career trying to understand how popular culture has ‘scrambled’ her identity. Trained principally as a painter and a printmaker, Cooper incorporates photography, painting, animation and writing into her artwork.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Concordia University in Montreal in 1998, Cooper has shown her work in New York City and in galleries across the country. In October 2000, her work Starring opened the 11th Annual St. John's International Women's Film and Video Festival. In 2002, Cooper had a solo exhibition of Starring: Part 2 at the Khyber Centre for the Arts in Halifax. Cooper makes her home in St. John's.
