Andrea Arria-Devoe is a lifestyle writer and an editor. She most recently wrote a column on sustainability for GOOP, where she covered topics ranging from regenerative agriculture to intersectional environmentalism and interviewed influencers and activists in the climate space. She was an Executive Producer on Straws, a short documentary released in 2017 that was catalytic in raising public awareness on the environmental and health hazards linked to the rise of single-use plastics and its relationship to the fossil fuel industry. She is on the Board of Trustees for the Climate Museum in New York City, and serves on the advisory board for Plastic Pollution Coalition, as well as the New Standard Institute, the organization spearheading New York’s Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act. “I joined Linda on Minnie Evans: Draw or Die because STRAWS became an essential vehicle for calling people to action around an issue I cared deeply about. My interest in self-taught artists and their unique reflection on the world drew me to this project. Minnie’s visions specifically speak to my fascination with the supernatural and their recurring motifs connecting God, humans and nature — a message we need to embrace, and quickly, in order to live in synchronicity with the planet.
