Andreea Murgu grew up in Vancouver, BC, where her family settled after emigrating from Romania. She moved to Nova Scotia in 2011 to attend NSCAD University where she earned a double major in Jewelry Design and Metalsmithing and Textiles/Fashion.
Her Grandmother had a great love of crafts, especially textiles, a few pieces of which Andreea has inherited over the years. These special pieces sparked a fascination and obsession with collecting domestic textiles.
A large part of Andreea’s work revolves around sentimental objects and ancient and historical techniques from around the world. She is inspired by nature, history, agriculture, rituals, and what cultivates a sense of home. Andreea lives and works close to the earth in the Annapolis Valley.
