Curious by Nature by Andrea Gornik

On Display: August 1-30 Opening Reception: August 1, 5:00-7:00 p.m.

Andrea Gornik is a Southwest Florida-based artist whose work is rooted in botanical fascination, texture, and intuitive exploration. She is the founder of Depth by Drea, the creative umbrella under which she shares her diverse body of work. Inspired by the quiet language of leaves and the resilient beauty of growth, her work bridges natural forms with emotional depth.

Working primarily with acrylics and sculptural mediums like joint compound, Andrea’s pieces are often tactile, inviting the viewer to experience flora not just visually, but viscerally. Whether richly glazed in color or composed in quiet, monochromatic relief, each piece is both a study and a story—an impression captured through curiosity and care.

Her approach is observational but interpretive, driven by a desire to connect with the nuances of nature and the metaphors it offers. “Curious by Nature” reflects her ongoing dialogue with the world around her: inquisitive, open, and always evolving.
