Andrew Bateman

I have a love for art, and for me especially, art involving nature.
Being diagnosed as autistic as an adult was a bit of an eye-opener; I have always felt that I was missing something. In fact I had not been missing out but was actually getting too much information from the world around me and my senses. I now use this to my advantage... I have a love for textures, colours and patterns, and when I paint I take all that information and try to put it on a canvas...
A lot of my work relates to furry friends, but I also have a love for painting some slightly more abstract pieces relating to nature and light, how it reflects on water and through the trees... I just paint what I see.
