He died in Sun City, AZ in December 1985. Member: Palette & Chisel Club (Chicago); Marin Society of Artists. In: State Museum (Springfield, IL).
Andrew had an early interest in art and spent much of his time as a youth drawing and working to improve his talent. He entered a contest in McAlester as a youth and caught the attention of a fellow artist who encouraged his gift and taught him much. As Andrew spread his wings, he moved to Chicago and enrolled in the Chicago Art Institute. Also, this is where he married and had one daughter.
