Andrea McCann (aka Sunshine) is a multifaceted artist in Oshkosh who works in mediums including painting and visual arts, music, and expressive movement. Her works are often an intuitive merge of multiple forms, taking a conscious experimental approach and allowing authentic flow to channel creativity into each work. She studied Fine Art/ Studio Arts and Psychology at UWO, and Mental Health Counseling at Lakeland University. Andrea believes Art can be healing, and expression paves way for the soul. The potential of what it can do is endless.

Her perspective stems from gratitude: We are always learning, gathering new insight to the self and channeling our unique experiences into these moments. The art, it brings people together, it shows someone a glimpse into the perspective of another, offering an invitation to expand and consider the truth and potential of this human experience. The vessel of the canvas, the moment shared between artist and viewer, the motivation is here, in the connection.

Inspiration is everywhere! But the main sources are nature, yoga, drum circles, dancing with Empowered Bellydance Troupe, the many ongoing adventures and most beautiful love for my children, friends, family, and community.

To highlight the most meaningful pieces of life, creating art has become a central focus. I believe art has the power to influence and empower communities.  Creating connection, strengthening engagement with life, sparking curiosity, passion, inspiration, motivation, understanding, compassion and joy!
