Our Artists
Keith Andrews is a visual artist living in Calgary, Alberta.
Keith works primarily in monochromatic oils and is known for the creative lighting and intricate detail he brings to his paintings.
"White space, negative space, the in-between.
In art, without the in-between, there would be no recognizable image. In life, it’s the space between moments that defines the things we remember and treasure."
“Is it a painting or is it a photograph? There’s something different about it…” Inspired by textures in landscapes, wildlife and nature, I use textiles combined with photographic elements to bring my works to life. It is a unique combination that never ceases to excite me.
"Each piece I create is inspired by something different and distinct. I use a wide variety of mixed media to create dramatic paintings full of texture and colour. There is just something about water that relaxes the soul."
"I am a figurative artist, my paintings are peaceful and relaxing, they tell the glory of the sky and its magnificence. I love texture and explore the volume of the material."
"I am an expressionistic painter, specializing in landscapes. When I paint, it’s like a deep meditation for me, where I shut my brain down, and open my heart. I paint emotively, and in short bursts, building layer after layer."
"Creating in glass is like embarking on a journey through surrender and patience. It's enticing and beautiful. It's science and rules. It can be sharp yet irresistible to the touch. Whatever mood the glass is in, it will surprise and delight you everytime."
"I strive to capture the grandeur and wonder of the Canadian Rockies; from vibrant winter sunrises, to late afternoon sun in the alpine, there are endless combinations of light and colour to explore in the ever-changing realms of the mountains."
"My goal and ambition is to bring beauty and peace into people’s homes through my art, and to offer the life-giving joy of creation to my art students.”
