I'm a British-American sculptor based in Central Texas. I work with steel because it resists me. The material demands force, heat, precision—and in that resistance, something shifts. What begins rigid becomes fluid. What appears to be immovable, now bends.
Andrea La Valleur-Purvis is an award-winning British-American sculptor creating abstract forms that explore resilience, balance, and the architecture of emotion.
La Valleur-Purvis left a two decade freelance design practice to pursue art full-time, a pivotal transition that now shapes her unique perspective in today’s contemporary art landscape.
Her work has been exhibited in the Marfa Invitational and outdoor installations in public spaces in Waco, Georgetown, and Cedar Park, Texas.
She was awarded the Artistic Merit Award from the Luxembourg Art Prize, named a Top 40 Finalist in the VAA International Prize and has been featured in Bold Journey Magazine, NRP Radio Waco, Cohart’s Editorial Magazine among others.
She lives and works in Waco, Texas.
Working with Andrea was an incredible experience from start to finish. Initially, Andrea visited our site to understand the space, our desires, and ask questions that we had not yet considered. We absolutely love the result, the story and inspiration behind it, and would wholeheartedly recommend working with Andrea to anyone who is looking for an artist that listens, communicates, and creates with both skill and heart.
