Audra Mandel a self taught artist was born in Janesville, Wisconsin. She cultivated her love for drawing, and began developing her own style and skills at the age of 10. Through her teenage years she continued her focus on art, working with various mediums such as colored pencils, pastels, acrylic and oil paints.
After 30 years of life's adventures, and a move to Oklahoma in 2021, she returned to the paint brush and easel to finally pursue her dream of painting full-time.
She considers herself to be extremely lucky to be a full-time artist, who loves finding inspiration for her work in nature and in her every day life. She feels painting in the realist style, while capturing the play of light, along with her love of detail helps to draw the viewer into her work.
After exhibiting her work for the first time in 2023, she is excited to have the privilege of working with Royce Myers Gallery of Tulsa. She is also a member of Oil Painters of America (OPA), Portrait Society of America and the Tulsa Artists' Coalition (TAC).
Audra lives and paints in the Tulsa area, with her partner David and their dog Roxanne.
