Andy began painting watercolors in the mid 1990's, is largely self-taught, and has studied with such well-known water-colorists as Skip Lawrence, Eric Weigardt, Alvaro Castagnet and Joseph Zbukvic.
He served as President of the Minnesota Watercolor Society from 2004-2006 and teaches workshops around the United States.
His paintings have appeared on the cover of American Artist's Watercolor magazine and in International Artist, Watercolor Artist, Plein Air and American Art Collector magazines. His award-winning paintings are in collections on 4 continents.
He was awarded the Bronze Medal of Honor at the 2012 AmericanWatercolor Society Exhibition and was just elected
a signature member of the prestigious Plein-Air Painters of America.
"I strive for an Impressionistic portrayal of the landscape in my watercolors. By concentrating on the large shapes and overall design, and leaving something to the imagination, the viewer is forced to interpret details. This makes them a participant in the painting, enhancing their enjoyment of it.
This method of painting demands a quick approach. The paint must be applied boldly and confidently to avoid an overworked, "muddy" look. In order to achieve this, a great deal of planning needs to go into the painting before the brush even hits the paper. Once I get the design I like and an accurate sketch, I'm free to let loose with the paint and let the unique, spontaneous qualities of watercolor take over.
The results are unpredictable at times, but when pigments start flowing into each other on the paper and Mother Nature takes over, the beauty
of watercolors is most evident."
