Andrew was born in Vancouver, BC and from a very early age he has been building and creating in 3D. It seems that one thing led to another. Blocks progressed to Lego, to Mechano, to model railroading, to woodwork, and now to metal sculpture and functional art.

Although his creative talents were very strong, his mechanical and technical aptitudes led him into a successful career in mechanical engineering. After graduating as a Mechanical Design Technologist, Andrew spent 11 years in the steel fabrication and machine shop industry in British Columbia. Through this career his creative talents came into play to solve many design problems and technical challenges. The technical skills he uses to create his fabulous sculptures were acquired on this career path.

In 2001 his interests shifted from wood work to metal sculpture. A passion emerged as his keen eye saw the artistic possibilities in the chaos of steel scrap that was generated each day where he worked. One day he looked in a scrap bin full of lathe shavings and saw the noodles which formed the vision for 'Blue Plate Special' which won 'Best in Show' at the TONAC juried art show in Peachland, BC in March, 2002. Due to this success, he accompanied the piece to the BC Festival of the Arts in Surrey, BC in May of 2002, where it was displayed in the curated show 'ARTworks' at the North Surrey Arena.

Over four years Andrew worked very hard, completing over 50 sculptures of various size and complexity, including several commissioned works. One of these works is the 7-ft tall steel gargoyle named 'Bob'. Bob created quite a stir while on display in downtown Kelowna, BC, and has now found a permanent home at a private residence in Calgary, Alberta.

Andrew was a member of the Kelowna and District Arts Council, The Calgary Point of Art Society, Metalphoric Association of Metal Artists and is now a member of the Revelstoke Visual Arts Society. In 2002, he participated as a non-commissioned sculptor in the Okanagan Thompson International Sculpture Symposium and was accepted into the Lake Country 'Artwalk 2002', a juried show in September 2002, where he was voted in the top ten for People's Choice. Andrew also served on The Calgary Point of Art Society board of directors and served on the board for ArtWalk 2004 in Calgary, AB.

After attempting to make a career out of his creativity in Calgary Alberta, Andrew signed on with CP Rail in order to pay the bills and this lead him to transfer to Revelstoke BC. Although taking some time away from art to establish a new career as a railroader Andrew has been busy dreaming up new and interesting works. Now at home in the mountains Andrew is busy re-establishing his artistic base in Revelstoke BC with several contributions to members shows in 2007 and 2008 at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Center. And now, in 2009, he has presented his show 'Inspiration Revealed' in the main gallery at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Center.
