ndy Beauchamp was born in the Bahamas and is
A
the 15th of his late father’s 16 children. Although
born in the Bahamas, Andy was raised in Haiti, the
native land of his parents, where vibrant colors, abject
poverty and social inequality fueled Andy’s passion for art.
Utilizing art as an outlet to express his emotions,
Andy began drawing various objects at the tender
age of seven. He would often go down to the sea-port
and draw the boats as they pulled into shore. He also
drew people interacting in the local street markets.
Tragically, by the age of 12, Andy lost both of his parents
and relocated to America to live with his older sister.
In America, Andy’s passion for art blossomed. In
high school, Andy’s artwork was highly praised and
acknowledged by teachers, administrators and classmates.
Many of his works in high school were created with colored
pencils. He meticulously mixed and blended colors to create
vibrant, unique images. The reassurance of his teachers
and his peers gave Andy a boost of confidence in his talent.
As his creativity evolved, Andy ventured into oil paints
and found even more success in bringing his works
to life. He pays extra attention to every detail and his
exploration of color mixtures and patterns add to
the uniqueness, depth and beauty of every painting.
Andy graduated with a BS in Fine Arts from the
University of West Florida in 2009.
