Inspirational Gifts, Fine Art, Prints, Scarves,
Jewelry, Ornaments, etc.
Within my art, people find angels, religious images and images that have a special meaning to them that were not intentionally painted while praying.
The Prayerful Painter
Andrea Eastman received a BFA from Alfred University, majoring in Photography and Printmaking. She captured memories for over 25 years as photographer and owner of Eastman Portrait Studio in
Binghamton NY. Andrea specialized in children, pets, and family portraits on her signature white background with artistic posing and unique props.
A Sunday homily “Pray in all you do” led her to return to painting, this time praying for people while painting. It was a perfect fit, being a member of her church’s Healing Mass prayer team. She was surprised to find that when her prints were displayed at a local gallery, other artists commented on the angels in them. Andrea was not aware of the angels prior to this and did not intentionally paint them.
She launched her Inspirational Gift Line in April of 2014 with her hand painted silk scarves. Again, she was surprised when she showed them to one of the first people to see them, who exclaimed, “They are full of angels like your paintings!”
To date, in addition to her other art Andrea has painted over 1000 scarves. Along with angels, people see religious images and images that relate specifically to their lives in her art.
Watch this video to experience Andrea's prayerful art and see how faith, prayer, and creativity come together in her work.
A Beautiful Testimonial:
Andrea,
Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed seeing you again and viewing your studio. I purchased a scarf for my mom for Mother's Day. She said, a few days later, she took the scarf out to look at it and read the card. When she looked at the scarf, she immediately saw my Dad. She couldn't believe it. When my son visited her later that day, she showed him the scarf and pointed to that area, without saying anything to him, and he said, Wow, that looks like Grandpa. My Dad passed away 6 years ago, so you really do have angels in your painting. Thank you so much for the work you do. My Mom will wear her scarf knowing she has her angel with her at all times. God Bless You and your work.
Sincerely,
Mary
