Deering Estate Artist-in-Residence Spotlight Andrea Clement
Andrea Clement is an Artist in Residence at Deering Esate and a Miami-based artist and educator whose photo encaustic work captures the beauty and fragility of Florida’s environment and wildlife. With over 30 years of experience in photography, her creative path has taken her from ancient ruins in Egypt to the wetlands of South Florida.
Andrea earned an Associate’s Degree in Professional Photography from the Southeastern Center for Photographic Arts in Daytona Beach, followed by a B.A. in Art History from the American University of Paris. While in Paris, she completed a one-year internship photographing artworks and ancient artifacts for the Research Laboratories of the French National Museums at the Louvre. This work later led her to the archaeological site of Tanis, Egypt, where she documented excavation findings as a site photographer.
After relocating to Miami in 1996, Andrea continued photographing for galleries, collectors, and auction houses. Her focus shifted to maternity portraiture after a personal commission sparked a new creative direction—eventually earning her work a feature on the Discovery Health Channel.
Since 2018, Andrea has dedicated her practice to photo encaustics, blending photography with collage, pigments, and wax to explore the layered stories of Florida’s natural landscape. She regularly hikes and kayaks through Everglades National Park, the Fakahatchee Strand, and Big Cypress to capture the local ecology that inspires her work. In addition to her studio practice, Andrea teaches photo encaustic workshops in Miami.
The Deering Estate Artist-in-Residence Program (AIR) supports artists who work in various disciplines and media.
The AIR Program offers professional visual, literary, performing, and cross-disciplinary artists the opportunity to pursue innovative projects and studio work, connect with other artists, and engage the public while interacting with the historical, architectural, intellectual, archeological, and natural elements of the Estate’s inspiring environment.
