Painter, etcher and engraver, born in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Her first encounter with art took place in 1918 when she enroled for a course at the John Hassall Correspondence School as a part-time student. At the time, she was working for the Standard Motor Company as a torch welder. She furthered her studies at Heatherley's, and afterwards was associated with Claude Flight and Iain MacNab at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art, where she was Secretary. She was a regular exhibitor during the inter-war years, particularly of her linocuts shown at the Redfern Gallery. Emigrating to Canada in 1947, Andrews settled in British Columbia, where she taught art for many years and examples of her work are in the collections of the V&A, BM and in museums and art galleries around the world including Leeds City Art Gallery, Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art, Dublin and the National Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide.
