Biographical / Historical Notes
I. Andrea Hoffman Jackson was born in Los Angeles in 1946. She earned a Master’s degree in Art and Art History from San Diego
State University, completed coursework for a doctorate in Art History at the University of Southern California, and studied
art and sculpture in Italy. She has created numerous sculptures on public display in San Diego, including: the ‘Discus Thrower’
at the Hall of Champions in Balboa Park, the ‘Children’s Wall’ at the Mandell Weiss City Park, M. Larry Lawrence Jewish Community
Center, and a bronze portrait bust of Mandell Weiss at the Mandell Weiss Center for the Performing Arts at University of California,
San Diego (UCSD). She also created a ceremonial mace of polished bronze with semi-precious stones for UCSD and the Roger Revelle
Medal for Distinguished Service to UCSD. She continues to sculpt and returns every few years to Italy to work and study.
Andrea is an accomplished writer and art critic, writing about artists, art exhibits, and current events in the art world.
Her writing has been published under two bylines, I. Andrea and Andrea Hoffman, in publications such as Artweek, San Diego
Magazine and The New York Post. From 1978 – 1979 she was a freelance writer for the Los Angeles Times and from 1979 – 1982
she was an art critic and feature writer for the San Diego Tribune. In 1988 she co-authored San Diego Artists, which featured
interviews and profiles of more than fifty local artists. She also taught art, art history, and writing at San Diego State
University.
In 1988 Andrea earned a second Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the Professional School of Psychological Studies.
She currently lives in the San Diego area where she sculpts and counsels at the San Diego Center for Children using Art Therapy.
