Andy is a self-taught impressionist/expressionist painter based in Canberra, Australia. Mostly concentrating on landscapes, light and shadow fascinate him and he seeks to capture their ever-changing nuances, whether it's a bright sunny day, the magical golden light of sunset, or the diffuse glow of a Canberra winter's misty mornings.
The scenes he paints are from memory, aided by copious notes and photographs, and he paints what he imagines the scene to be, choosing colours by emotion and gut feel rather than trying to emulate natural tones. This gives his paintings a peaceful, often dreamlike quality, sometimes accentuated by the addition of a figurative element which is usually a last-minute choice once everything else has been painted.
Andy has exhibited in several locations in Sydney as well as the Humble House Gallery in Canberra, and currently has work on display at Gallery NWC in Katoomba.
