Andrew Waddington
Painting
Andrew Waddington’s images of wildlife and the landscape are created from his sensitive and highly detailed sketchbook works and plant studies. He is well known for his paintings and woodcuts, which often employ his favored motif of the hare and the crow.
Andrew Waddington was born in Buckinghamshire in 1960 and moved with his family to Cornwall in 1971. He studied Foundation Art at Falmouth College of Art (1978-9), later obtaining his degree from Dyfed College of Art. Andrew taught A-level art in Braintree, Essex and worked on Roman and Iron Age archeological sites before moving back to Cornwall in 1983. He established his print studio on a farm near Rose, Cornwall in 1988, but in 1992 the press moved to its present home to the Tamar Valley. The British Library holds a collection of his lithographs, which are printed and editioned by the Curwen studio.
