Andrea Schumann was born in Helmstedt in 1956 and studied Fine Art at the Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts, later studying free painting as a master student under Professor Lemcke at the Berlin University of the Arts.
Her paintings, created in the tradition of German Expressionism, have been shown in solo exhibitions in Berlin, Hof, and Helmstedt, as well as in group exhibitions in Los Angeles, Berlin, and Würzburg, among others.
The study of nature, a classical training as a painter, and the ever-changing process of painting and its reflection marked milestones in her life and artistic work. The longing for harmony and perfection on the one hand, and the recognition of the imperfection and transience of being on the other, permeated her life and her art.
She has contributed works to television productions and various art projects.
