Andronache Niculina was born on January 19, 1953, in Vorona commune. She graduated from the Pedagogical high school from Botosani in 1973. She was drawn by the art of crafting horses for traditional dances in the winter of 1990. Ever since that moment, she has attended several craft fairs within the country and abroad. Her first steps were to craft horses in 1990, when the teacher Aurel Stefan proposed her to create 2 horses in the workshop of Vorona high school. Gradually, the number of horses increased. Later, people in the village found out about her crafting talent and offered to create wooden heads necessary for the horses and goats that she was making.
