Andrea Cobb is a multi-disciplinary visual artist whose work spans Illustration, Packaging, Environmental Graphics, and Fine Art. Her artistic education began in high school, where she majored in Visual Arts at the North Carolina School of the Arts. She then studied Illustration at Parsons School of Design and Child Psychology at The New School for Social Research in New York City. This diverse educational background informs Cobb’s ability to evoke deep emotional connections through her work, blending artistic technique with psychological insight.
Before transitioning to vector art in the mid-90s, Cobb worked with traditional mediums, particularly cut paper painted with gouache. During this time, she gained notable success illustrating and designing all the packaging for Whole Foods' private label and their Whole Body line. These projects encompassed the complete brand identity, including logos, packaging, signage, and custom hand-lettering.
In her fine art practice, Cobb creates ‘vector paintings’ of otherworldly landscapes, flora, and fauna, selling these works as prints and across a variety of home products, such as coffee mugs, bedding, and area rugs. Her art merges expressive lines, distinct color design, and layers of patterns and textures, capturing ethereal, non-literal moments that invite viewers to connect on a deeper level.
Her most recent project was the environmental art for the newly renovated Huntington Shopping Mall in Long Island, where she collaborated with Federal Realty and SBLM Architects. Cobb's work on this project spanned concept development, color design, comprehensive elevation drawings, and sculptures.
