Born in 1973 and raised in Kingston, Ontario, Andrew moved to Ottawa in 1991 to study Industrial Design at Carleton University.  During this time, he contributed to the Ottawa Citizen's comics page with a weekly comic strip entitled "Off The Wall" which was published from 1993 to 1997.  A number of his comics were printed in newspapers across North America through King Features Syndicate.  Andrew followed his love of cartooning and was accepted into the Television Animation program at Algonquin College where he graduated with Honours in 1997.

After graduating, Andrew began working in television with a number of local animation studios and continued his freelance design and animation work with studios in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto.  Currently Andrew resides in Ottawa, where he continues to work as a freelance designer for animated television shows as well as doing conceptual design work for both live action and video game productions.


During the summer of 2003 while on hiatus between projects, Andrew began to put his ideas on canvas, developing his unique brand of humour and style into workable pieces of art.  Utilizing his design skills, animation background and his characteristic sense of humour, his works vary from contemporary landscapes to almost graphic cartoon style images.

Since his beginning in 2003, Andrew's artwork has been featured in a number of art shows and galleries across Canada and he has recently been invited to exhibit his work in Prague.  With clients from around the world,  his paintings now grace the walls of homes in Belgium, Australia, New York City and even an embassy in Bangladesh.  His work appeals to a wide range of audiences and continues to evolve as he progresses his art form.
