Andrea Holmes didn’t always believe art could pay the bills. After stints in catering, restaurants, and even TV, she embraced her true calling as a muralist. Now known as “the Bird Lady,” she supports herself and her daughter through her art, traveling internationally to paint vibrant murals that spark joy in communities worldwide.
What sets Andrea apart is her openness about the business of art. She shares that corporations like Starbucks invest $20,000+ in her murals, breaking the “starving artist” myth. Once convinced $100,000 a year as an artist was impossible, she hit that goal—and now sets her sights on earning that for a single mural. Her ambitious mindset shows how removing self-imposed limits creates new possibilities.
Community fuels her success. Though she works solo, she intentionally connects with groups like McKinney Creative Community, finding relationships that provide both emotional support and collaboration. “I have found more value in relationships because I don’t have that during the day,” she notes.
Andrea’s wisdom is simple: “If you set out six months or a year on a calendar and you’re still complaining about something, change it.” Her story proves that with persistence, community, and bold goals, artists can create a thriving life beyond what they thought possible.
