About

Welcome to my art. I am Andy. I taught Geography and other subjects for 28 years in state 11-16 secondary schools in England.

I moved to live in the beautiful Isle of Purbeck, Dorset on the South coast of England.

I started to keep sketchbooks and a portfolio of my art  in the summer of 2015. I have a  large collection of photos  I have taken over a number of years and often used in my teaching previously.

2017 marked me starting to sell my work.

I can be found on Facebook page AndyKnillArt.

Please feel free to comment on my work. If interested in buying or commissioning some art contact me: andy@andyknillart.com.

In 2019 I jointly rented a shop unit with Jo Porter Prints and we call ourselves The Courtyard Studio: Art in the Heart of Swanage. We can be found in Tilly Mead Courtyard, Commercial Road, Swanage BH19 1DF. The shop has a Facebook page @andysartintheheartofswanage and also as @andythecourtyardstudio on Instagram.

The shop has had to close during lockdowns during Covid-19 but we both sell our art online – my shop is at www.andyknillart.shop.
