Andrew is an enthusiastic plein air sketcher and workshops outdoors in all weathers. His studio is at Krowji, Redruth.
Painting in oils, Andrew strives to capture the changing light and rugged Cornish landscapes and seascapes in a figurative and impressionistic style of painting. He spends many hours sketching, walking and observing the varied Cornish landscape and coastline as the light changes throughout the day and time of year.
Andrew appeared as a featured artist on Landscape Artist of the Year 2024 at Stonehaven Harbour, Aberdeenshire.
January 2024 saw Andrew win the Artist Magazine Award at the Pastel Society 125th exhibition ‘Remarkable’ for his charcoal and soft pastel drawings.
In 2021 he won The Bowyer Drawing Prize at The New English Art Club annual exhibition and a Highly Commended Award at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists summer Friends exhibition. In April 2023 he took part in the RBSA candidates exhibition where he was elected an Associate member which was a dream come true!
Andrew exhibits regularly with the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists at the Brook Street Gallery in Birmingham, New English Art Club, The Drawing Society and The Pastel Society in Mall Galleries London.
In 2021 he published his first book ‘Views from the Studio Window’ featuring 120 oil studies painting the view from his studio at Krowji, Redruth, as it changed over the course of a year. This book was generously part funded by Cultivator Cornwall.
Andrew runs the Sketching Cornwall sketch club who meet twice a month to sketch in the landscapes around Redruth.
Andrew sells his work in seven galleries throughout the UK.
