Born in Buffalo, New York, in 1945, Andy has always had a love of art and creating imaginative feel-good lands. As a child, he often entertained neighborhood children with his clay models of cities with unique architectural structures.

Finger painting in kindergarten was his first and last encounter with formal art training, and he still uses this technique today to smooth and blend the paint. Andy's love of art and creativity was shared and encouraged by his aunt, a painter and architectural designer. Even though he held jobs unrelated to art, such as steelworker, life insurance salesman, field investigator, car rental manager, and electronic parts salesman, it couldn't quell the passion and Andy's desire to pursue his dream.

Around the age of thirty, after experimenting with various self-improvement techniques, Andy began to have successive dreams of incredible lands of peace , of beauty and tranquility where one could skate through the landscape on pure air or rise into the sky to see the splendor below. There was beautiful and unique foliage and incredible architecture. He had many of these dreams, which inspired him to share them with the world through his art. It was from his dreams that he was able to develop his unique style.

Once his style was established, he began to mix his imagination and experiences. He would see something and immediately transform it into his own original style of dreamscape. The glazing technique, which involves layering thin layers of color, has proven to be best for achieving this soft light effect. The colors seem to glow inside, which reinforces the dreamlike appearance. Andy began exhibiting and selling his works gradually, at first.

Demand for his works grew to the point that in 1991 he made the leap to becoming a full-time artist and Haven't looked back since. Traveling has become an enjoyable way to discover new ideas and sell your work. His palette broadens as he travels. He began painting the warm colors of Arizona's red rocks and the cool tropical colors of Maui's beaches.

Experiencing new places helped him deepen his understanding of life - his harmony, its various means of expressing beauty, its constant change and the miracle of the underlying energy.

Today, Andy is a member of the National Acrylic Painters Association (NAPA), headquartered in England, and a member of the Buffalo Society of Artists. His artwork is well represented.

Andy's work is constantly evolving, while maintaining that dreamlike quality. If asked what he thinks of his painting, he would reply: “My dreams have definitely come true!”
