Andy Waite

Andy was born in in 1954 and followed a career as a freelance graphic designer and sign writer, having studied at West Sussex College of Art & Design before turning to painting full time in 1988.

 

He has had numerous solo exhibitions in galleries throughout England and in London as well as group shows, winning first prize, The Stride Open, in Chichester in 2008.

Sometimes out walking it is possible to feel absorbed enough to enter the landscape wholly, allowing colour, form and the senses to envelop the consciousness – these moments are fleeting and back in the studio there’s a similar surrender – the act of painting becomes all response, trust and letting go.’
