Andy V Taylor Bio

I've been an oil painter for twenty-five years, born in Sydney and growing up by the beach. Art has always been a part of my life, with my work collected both nationally and internationally. I've exhibited in some of Sydney's leading galleries and major art fairs. In 2011, I moved abroad and lived in England for some time. Returning to Australia in 2019, I established my own studio, 'Coast and Harbour Gallery,' to provide collectors with the unique opportunity to buy fine art directly from the artist.

Art is deeply personal to me, and I aim to paint pieces that bring joy, focusing on beauty, colour light, playfulness, and our common connection to place. My style, which I call 'joy-pop,' is a reflection of this ethos, and I hope it brings as much joy to others as it does to me.

Recently, I've been experimenting with digital painting, adding a new dimension to my artistic practice. Inspired by the  harbour, the ocean and coastal scenes. I love the process of creating smooth textures, and details, honing my technical skills and pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling.

I invite you to imagine one of my vibrant pieces bringing a splash of joy and colour to your space.
