ARTIST BIO

Born in Toronto, 1982, Andrea Mai is an empath with a connection to the unseen world. From childhood, she developed her talents as an artist. As as a legally blind person, she has always used her intuitive abilities to cope with such struggles. As a teenager, she was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a rare genetic condition causing extreme nearsightedness. Through boredom and creativity, Andrea began taking photographs as a challenge to master skills in photography despite her visual impairment. Wise and inquisitive from an early age, she took interest in subjects related to psychic phenomena and the paranormal. In 2016, she discovered a spirit presence in her life; it was that of the late legendary musician, Prince Rogers Nelson. She naturally began to channel words spoken to her telepathically, and later developed automatic drawing. In a psychic reading, she was told that she would cross paths with Prince through photography. She would later discover this to be true, when she found herself experimenting with image projections of Prince in her self-portraits. She considers artists like Claude Monet, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, Man Ray, as artistic influences in her work. In 2018, she began an intense scientific study of spirit communication through the use of Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP), where voice from the spirit world could be recorded and nalalyzed.
