Journey to the Northland” based on the Finnish folktales
from the Kalevala.

realistic such as “The Coffee Connoisseur.”

the warm nostalgic feelings associated with her subjects.

her experiences.

Andrew's
Bio
University of Minnesota
Duluth Degree in Graphic Design,
Departmental Honors, Magna cum laude, 1999
Andy has been painting
with coffee for four years.
Andy’s favorite works are the ones that reflect his Scandinavian
heritage. For almost each exhibition, Andy would like to paint a Viking ship,
Nordic symbols, or other images in reference to Scandinavia.His
favorite painting from this genre is “Nordic Storm of Fury” which depicts a wind
god blowing into the sail of a Viking ship.
Another idea that piques
Andy’s
interest is the little events in the daily life. Leaves, coffee cups,
mosquito bites and ants have all been subjects of his paintings. He correlates
the everyday
occurrences with the coffee color, being a sepia tone, to old photos
and memories. That strong connection creates a warm mood.
Aside from
being a graphic designer,
Andy likes to carve wooden figures out of branches, take photos of
his Boston Terrier, Gidget, and read Nordic mythology.
His
ultimate goal
is to travel
the world and paint his experiences,then come back to his gallery
to showcase the works.
