DRAW CHARLOTTESVILLE

Andrea Ruedy Trimble is an artist and former architect interested in how the built environment affects the experience of the people who inhabit a place and how the experiences of the people who inhabit a place are reflected in the built environment and shape a community. With a background in architecture, historic preservation, and sustainability, Andrea seeks opportunities to build a deeper understanding of each other and a stronger sense of place through inclusive, community-engaged art...the connections that the process of creating and experiencing art can enable.
