About
Andrew is British landscape painter who has lived in the United Arab Emirates but is now living and working in Stratford Upon Avon. He is known for creating powerful and evocative figurative and abstract paintings that are a direct response to the landscape. Working with gestural brushmarks he aims to achieve, balance, energy and dynamism, to inspire the viewer and remind them of the beauty and power of the natural environment as well as the calming qualities of being surrounded by the elements. He paints with watercolours and oils and uses eco-friendly diluents and mediums that are plant-based and derive from sustainable sources. This alligns with his ethical approach and interest in preserving and celebrating the natural environment.
