Andy, You've had quite the experience as an artist in Palm Beach and Broward! I'm glad South Florida has inspired some of your body of works. It was a good listen and I'll continue to follow your work Andy. Would love to see if you start working in acrylic more. And I definitely appreciate the fact that you broaden your subject matter within your paintings and admire your knife work. Great interview Susanne! Thank you for your continued efforts to give artists near and far a platform to reach more people.
