Bre Andy: The Witchy Painter Who Wanders

Andy, known for her delicate paintings of women, talks about her affinity for nature, her process of painting from photos, and her recent work. She mentions a painting titled 'A Rest I Can't Feel' (2025) and a song by Moin called 'Lift You' that influenced a title.

She shares her New York hot take (not touching poles), the red dresser in her studio with the strongest aura, and her alternative career as a therapist. The conversation covers topics like Lena Dunham, Greek mythology, online shopping, and the Nicole Kidman paparazzi photo she believes art historians will analyze for 200 years.
