About the Artist

Born in Miami in the early 40's, Andrew Sheldon lived in and on the water in the lushly colorful tropical landscape of South Florida.  
Andy comes to painting with a commitment and devotion that allows him to connect his internal feelings and thoughts to the outside world represented on his canvas.  This gives his work a dimensionality and depth you can feel.  This is especially true in his civil rights project titled "Denise's Shoes"

Andy began learning drawing and painting from Chouaib Saidi in intensive mentoring classes. Workshops with Bill Davidson, Jim Richards, Patrick Saunders and Albert Handell have been followed by weekly lessons in portrait painting with Marc Chatov.  Andy entered the mentoring program with Patrick Saunders in 2020.

His paintings are in private collections in California, New Mexico, Ohio, Georgia, the United States Capital and London.
