SWIRL

Swirl is not only the signature design on many of her pieces, it’s the name given to the colorful creations of Andrea Iliadis. Wood from torn down barns, nails, metal roofing and many other found objects are reborn as funky fish, flowers, birds, snakes, stars and more. Working from her Carrboro, NC studio, there is no end to Andrea’s creative energy and no two pieces are alike.
