ABOUT
Andrew grew up in Salisbury, England, a medieval City surrounded by countryside and many historical buildings. He enjoyed drawing as a child and in his teens begun to use watercolour, with the love of the medium only growing from that point. Through time and application Andrew was able to produce higher standards of work and in turn his love for watercolour only increased.
In 2003, Andrew held my first solo exhibition, " The Inspirational World " in The Portico Gallery in Salisbury, and this encouraged him to pursue his artistry further. Later that same year, he relocated to Devon where he still live today. Through the subsequent years, Andrew continued to build up his portfolio, showcasing paintings in various projects and exhibitions.
In the summer of 2019, Andrew held his first solo international exhibition in the City of Krasnodar, Russia by kind invitation of the Cities Mayor. Having the opportunity to show work to the international audience has only encouraged him to continue and build new international connections and hold more exhibitions at an international level.
In the Autumn of 2022, Andrew was invited to showcase a new collection of Salisbury paintings in a major solo exhibition at Salisbury Museum. Held for 12 weeks, it was the first solo exhibition that Andrew had held in Salisbury since the debut show in 2003. It was great to have the opportunity to once again share my work in this very special city.
Andrew has been published in several UK and international art and cultural publications, with each offering their own ways to explore the work. Commissions are another avenue that he enjoys creating, working closely with clients to produce the desired painting. Andrew also enjoy giving demos and workshops with varying groups, and finds the exchange very enjoyable and fulfilling as an artist, an area he wishes to only build upon.
Andrew continues to create new work and collections, motivated by his desire to capture new subjects, to exhibit and share them with the wider audience. His hope is that the work may continue to evoke real emotion and allow a deeper interest and appreciation of familiar scenes and allow the audience to see our world through his observation.
