ABOUT

Andrew has practised as a professional portrait painter for over 20 years and is now one of the most sought after portrait painters in Europe. He has painted a wide variety of people: from private family portraits, multifigure compositions, formal pictures for global institutions, to European Royalty. His work hangs in private homes, corporate board rooms, the halls of academic institutions and even the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican City.

He studied in the United States, Florence, Paris and London. He travels anywhere his portraits are sought after. During his career he has been based mostly between Tuscany and London and his primary studio is now in the Surrey Hills.

Andrew has exhibited a number of times with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, as well as the New English Arts Club. He is a member of the Chelsea Arts Club and The Royal Company of Archers, The King’s Body Guard for Scotland. In the United States he is represented by Portraits Inc.

As well as portraits Andrew paints landscapes and botanical works inspired by the precious fragility of our natural environment and the importance for us to find a sustainable equilibrium with it. 

Currently, Andrew is working on a new body of work to be exhibited at the StART Art Fair at the Saatchi Gallery, with Kei London, during Frieze Week. This new work takes its inspiration from classical myth and renaissance religious narrative paintings, however he inverts the narratives and the painting approach to make tongue in cheek social commentary on the hubris of human egotism and our perception of order and chaos. The work also layers in Andrew’s own personal and artistic experiences to develop the characters that play out these narratives.
