Utopia Painting

Born in in Swansea, South Wales, Andrew has been passionate about art and music since early childhood. At an early age he was painting for the local church, scenery for the Christmas pageants and pencil work for family and friends before moving onto water colour, painting landscapes, cartoons and interior design artwork. His dream was to become an art teacher but he found himself having to take a different direction. His career progressed and he travelled extensively. Andrew continued painting, now using oils but found himself at a crossroads, quote "feeling stereo typed and rigid." By this time he had started exploring abstract art and soon found himself engrossed with the freedom to explore this vibrant medium and paint with passion.  From that point he never looked back.  No restrictions on his brush strokes and technique allowed him to expand his imagination and thoughts onto canvas.  He told me "what a relief to be able to paint with the freedom to do whatever you want." His work is constantly evolving and when I asked what gave him the most satisfaction, he replied, "the fact that people appreciate my paintings so much, wants to take them home and display in a very cherished place, what more can I ask for?
