Painted in a Venice garden. Dried by the California sun.

Original paintings made outdoors among olive trees and bird of paradise, behind a 1920s Venice Beach bungalow. Every work is one of one — no prints, no reproductions, ever.

The only rule

No prints. No editions. Every painting lives one life on one wall.

Andrea doesn't reproduce her work — not as prints, not as giclées, not as anything. When you own an Estep, you own the only one there is, the very canvas that sat in the garden and took the sun. That's the point.

( 02 ) The garden studio

The studio has no roof.

Every painting starts under an umbrella in the backyard of Andrea's Venice bungalow, in a Southern-California zen garden she and her husband have grown for years — olive trees overhead, a bird of paradise at the fence line, grape vines doing whatever grape vines want, and a fire pit that has heard every half-finished idea.

Finished canvases lean against the garden wall and dry the old way: in direct California sun. No studio lights, no climate control. It leaves something in the paint — a warmth you can feel standing in front of the finished work.

Private viewings

Not a white cube. A hundred-year-old Venice bungalow.

The gallery is Andrea's own home — an authentic 1920s Venice Beach bungalow a short walk from the ocean, with the paintings hanging exactly the way they're meant to live: on real walls, in real light, in a real home.

Viewings are private and by appointment. Come see the work where it was made, meet the artist, stand in the garden it dried in — and if a painting is meant to leave with you, you'll know.

( 04 ) The artist

Andrea Estep at the end of Windward Avenue, Venice Beach, with the boardwalk behind her

Bold color, loose brushwork, and zero interest in doing it the usual way.

Andrea Estep is a contemporary painter who lives and works in Venice Beach, California. Her work is what happens when someone paints purely because they love it — big confident color, sun-struck palettes, and the loose, liberated brushwork of a person answering to no one.

She paints outside, year-round, in the garden behind her bungalow. The light gets into everything: the palettes lean warm, the edges stay soft, and every canvas carries a bit of the afternoon it was finished in.

She releases only originals. A painting should live one life on one wall — and she'd rather make a new one than reprint an old one.
