Painter, teacher and printmaker, Andrare studied at Central School of Arts and Crafts and Bromley and Beckenham School of Art. She showed at RA, SWA, NS and elsewhere. Many of Andrade’s subjects had a stage connection, as indicated by a collection of her pictures offered by Rosebery’s, the West Norwood auctioneers, in 2002. She taught in the London area, including London County Council schools.
