Andrea Davis has spent 20+ years creating Chattanooga-inspired batik art in collaboration with Sophie’s Shoppe, and more than 50 honing her unique craft.

Each batik piece is made by melting layered wax on fabric to create unique, beautifully textured compositions.

You’ll recognize Chattanooga landmarks and landscapes in much of Andrea’s artwork; The Walnut Street Bridge is the subject of her top-selling piece.
