Born in Denver, Colorado, in the summer
of 1982, Audrey McNamara showed signs
of a talent for art at a very young age. As a
child, drawing was pure play for Audrey and
she spent many hours up at her drawing table,
tool in hand. During her teenage years the
artist nonchalantly won school awards and
baffled her instructors, but she cared little for
school and, as soon as Audrey could leave
the confines of formal education, she did. In
2003, Audrey had her first solo art exhibition
at Mutiny Now Gallery in Denver. Many
more shows were to follow as she tirelessly
pursued her path up the ranks of showing
her art in bookstores and coffee shops, and
doing menial jobs such as interior painting and
technical sketches to pay the way. By the time
Audrey was enrolling herself in Denver’s Emily
Griffith Institution of Vocation and Design, she
was a working full time as a freelance artist.
Her education in fashion design helped mold
the signature style Audrey’s art carries today.
At the dawn of 2009, Audrey moved to Los
Angeles to expand her pool of opportunity.
She now holds a curating position in Venice,
California, while she travels the United States
with her art, doing, by majority, illustration,
street vending and murals.
