Andrea La Valleur-Purvis

Andrea La Valleur-Purvis is a British-American sculptor based in Central Texas who creates
bold, abstract sculptures that embody resilience and play. La Valleur-Purvis holds a BFA in Sculpture from the College of Visual Arts (St. Paul, MN), a post-graduate certificate in Innovation and Design Thinking from Emeritus (in collaboration with MIT, Tuck and Columbia Universities), and additional certificates from IDEO and Sotheby’s Institute of Art. Her work is deeply informed by her multicultural upbringing in the UK and Germany, raised by British and American parents. As an adult, she spent a year traveling the world solo in 2015, followed by five years living in Spain. Before returning to her passion for metal sculpture, La Valleur-Purvis held creative roles with
visionary tech brands for nearly two decades. In 2023, she released her first series of public art installations for the City of Waco, Texas.
