Welcome! Let’s chat…

Pull up a chair, grab a cup of joe, and let’s get to know each other for a minute.

Hi, I’m Andrea Pate. I’m a mixed-media artist, miniature sculptor, and the creator behind The Pate Collective- a creative brand centered around handcrafted art, miniature sculpture, and thoughtfully designed pieces inspired by food, nature, and the beauty of everyday moments.

I work across a variety of mediums including polymer clay, pyrography (wood burning), watercolor, illustration, needle felting, laser engraving, and miniature sculpting. My work blends traditional craftsmanship with modern creative tools, and I’m best known for creating realistic miniature food art and detailed pyrography.

My work has been featured in magazines, included in Wood Burn Community Book of Templates Vol. 2, and I licensed artwork with Hobby Lobby from 2021–2024. I’ve taught pyrography, created art tutorials, and collaborated with brands including TRUart, while also creating commissioned brand artwork and creative projects.

In addition to my studio work, I am a member of the Lowe’s Creator Program, where I share DIY projects, home inspiration, and creative content with my social media audience.

Through The Pate Collective, I combine art, storytelling, and craftsmanship to create pieces that bring joy, curiosity, and personality to everyday life. Each piece is carefully designed and handmade with attention to detail and a genuine love for the creative process.

When I’m not creating in my studio, you’ll usually find me experimenting with new materials, developing fresh ideas, and sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of my creative process online.

I live on the East Coast with my family, and I’ll happily share my love of the beach with anyone who will listen.

I’d love to know a little about you, too. Let’s connect… come find me on social media and say hello.
