Sandrine Andrews is a historian, art critic, curator, novelist, author of several art titles, and editorial director. She studied at the École du Louvre and worked at the prestigious Sonnabend art gallery in New York as an editor. She regularly contributed to the art magazines Cimaise and Dada, the latter for more than 10 years. In her eagerness to bring art closer to the general public, she created a traveling art gallery called Les Petits Pois Sont Rouges that aimed to support the work of children's book illustrators, including herself.
