About me
My name is Andrea Paukstis. I am a survivor of a Traumatic Brain Injury due to a catastrophic car accident in 1996, when I was in High School. I was in a coma for 45 days and the prognosis of my recovery was very bleak. I did not speak until 92 days later and I suffer from a permanent short-term memory loss; I have balance problems and fall very easily. I can remember daily activities only following routines and with the help of my assistant Joy. I can learn new things with a lot of repetitions.
I do remember my life before the accident. I remember my High School, The Spanish Immersion Program, the AP Classes, the band, teachers, the classmates, sports, the coaches, and specially soccer, the varsity team, Track, the soccer club team and our trip to Denmark and Sweden.
Luckily, I do not remember the accident or the 5 months in three different hospitals: or the eight months of daily outpatient rehabilitation sessions.
I lived in Bellevue, Washington with my parents and until we moved to Medellin, Colombia in 2022. In Medellin I started taking painting lessons from German Angel, a professional artist. I have never painted before, and I love painting and enjoy sharing my work with everyone.
I would very much appreciate your comments on my paintings.
Thank you for visiting my webpage.

My Artistic Journey
Welcome to Andrea Paukstis Paintings!
Until this past year I had never done any painting. Having moved from Seattle to Medellin Colombia I started painting lessons with a local artist and found I enjoyed painting and sharing my art with others.
