About the Author
Andrew's career started in the late seventies when a series of his pen and ink drawings were published in a book, No Strings Attached. This was his first professional commission at the age of eighteen. Other work quickly followed and in the mid-eighties, after a move to London, Andrew was taken on by an agent who fed him a whole series of exciting projects including commissions for the Natural History Museum. Alongside this a number of one-man exhibitions of Andrew's watercolours took place in Highgate and at Sadler's Wells Theatre. Many of his paintings were inspired by the Welsh woodland, his favourite subject since his mid-teens, and in 1992 Andrew moved permanently to West Wales. Andrew is now one of Wale's best-selling artists. There have been over eighty one-man exhibitions, many hundreds of commissions, and at the end of the millennium his work was available from over thirty galleries across South Wales. He has taken part in programmes for BBC television and radio and has raised funds for the Woodland Trust and other conservation bodies. He has won two international awards for his seascapes, including the "America's Favourite" category for one of his "Rockpool Treasure" paintings.
