Although she also made drawings and paintings, she is best known as a maker of colored linocuts like this one, the majority of which were made between 1929 and 1939. A student of the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London, Andrews' designs like those of her teacher Claude Flight are abstracted stylizations of mostly modern subjects-the work and leisure of the contemporary city. She also made a number of linocuts based on religious themes, such as this "Mother and Child" which depicts Christ on the Cross. Although art historians claim that she was not an especially religious person, she was fascinated by the drama of the life of Christ.
