Andrew Grant
United States
Andrew Maurice Grant was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica and migrated to the United States at an early age. Grant's mother always had art in the home - photography, figurines, illustrations and paintings - that leaned toward realism, representations of blackness and the female form.
Grant's formal studies began at Crealdé School of Art where he studied under former Painting & Drawing Director Terry Norris and assisted in a range of Crealdé community projects. He later studied privately with Carol Broman in her private studio and continued to develop his respresentationl skills.
Grant's subject matter is centered around women and depicting them in the most noble light, visually. He inspiration is women, solely, because they have been the most consistent force in his life.
Grant has exhibited both locally and nationally.
He now lives in Orlando with his wife and two children.
