Andrea Niven
Andrea Niven is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Windsor, Ontario, whose practice spans drawing, painting, mixed media, collage, and film. With a background in education and French language studies, Andrea draws inspiration from the natural world, particularly the life cycle of the Monarch Butterfly, to explore themes of resilience, transformation, and hope. Her work reflects a lifelong passion for art and a deep connection to the environment, rooted in her early experiences growing up near Big Creek Marsh in Amherstburg.
The Seniors Council is supported by the New Horizons for Seniors Program, the Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility through the Seniors Community Grant program and by Caesars Windsor Cares.
