Andrea La Valleur-Purvis is a British-American sculptor and designer based in Central Texas.
My sculptural practice centers on curiosity, exploration, and the discoveries that emerge through creating.
Through distinctive abstract metal works united by bold color and clean lines, my work investigates how abstract forms can carry profound human themes, building sculptures that resonate on both visual and emotional levels.
I transform abstract and geometric forms into powerful explorations of resilience, belonging, and human connection.
My work continues a lineage shaped by mid-century visionaries—Calder’s kinetic works, Tony Smith’s monumental minimalism, Noguchi’s seamless fusion of sculpture and environment, Nevelson’s architectural mystery, and de Saint Phalle’s unapologetic femininity. Their legacies fuel my practice, not as nostalgia, but as a call to build contemporary monuments that challenge, invite, and endure. Each piece reflects this ongoing dialogue between inquiry and making, where the studio becomes a space for discovery rather than display.
"My work transforms unyielding materials into testaments of resilience and belonging—reflecting our capacity to find beauty, play, and energy even in life's most challenging moments."
