Andrew Kay

In 1962 Andrew won a scholarship to attend the Bolton College of Arts. Later he studied graphic design and worked in advertising in Manchester for three years. After travelling through India and Asia, Andrew returned to the UK to begin studying fine art at Preston Polytechnic, eventually going on to study fine art at Manchester Polytechnic, where he graduated with a Master of Arts degree in fine art.

After further travels throughout India and Asia he arrived in Australia with his wife Yvonne in 1979. Since arriving in Australia Andrew’s artwork has been centred on the creation of sculpture inspired by the natural environment. The abundance of forms, colour and wildlife that abound in the Australian landscape, provide him with an unending source of inspiration for his artwork.

Andrew has created public artwork for Government, councils and private organisations. He currently operates a bronze casting foundry at his studio in Roleystone, where he casts his own bronze sculptures. He has recently been exploring the possibility of incorporating fused glass that he has created in hist studio into his sculpture.
