Andrea Rinke was born in September 1963 in Vienna, Austria.
She started her education as a porcelain painter at the famouse
"Vienna Procelain Manufactory Augarten", which is
one of the oldest and richest manufactures in Europe.

In 1994 the artist showed her first exibition with great success.

1995-1996 Andrea Rinke worked on a project for the " European Chapel" in Mauerbach near Vienna. She arranged the "Crossway by Josef v. Fürich from 1846 " on porcelain, with the special feature of a 15. Station, which was sketched by the painter in addition and which carries the title " The Resurrection of Jesus ". This cross way is by its 15. Station a world-wide unique object of interest.

These religious representations were a role of the pioneer for further sakrale topics to create porcelain painting plates on animal graves. Their constant work urge as an artist encouraged her to this sensitively seeming painting from the animal world, in order to be able to render to loved domestic animals the last honour.

The objects together from porcelain and wood show the ability and the qualification of the artist.
