MEETINGS & DEMONSTRATIONS

Our next meeting and demonstration will be May 21, 2013 at the Richardson Public Library Basement Meeting Room. The demo will be an oil demonstration by Andrew Wages..

New Mexico Church, 12 x 16

Andrew grew up in southern Oklahoma and later moved to Texas where he developed an interest in art. He later attended the Art Center College of Design, graduating with honors.

He was then off to New York City to apprentice as an illustrator to one of the commercial art studios. He was drafted by the army and served as an illustrator in Fourth Army Recruiting. He then worked as a freelance illustrator in Dallas for thirty-five years.

But for the past fifteen years, Andrew has followed his dream and has been painting landscapes, still lifes, portraits and figurative works.
