Mick McAndrews Artist Bio Born and raised in northern New Jersey, Mick has lived in the Brandywine Valley for over 25 years. He has participated in workshops with several renowned contemporary painters whose guidance and style have influenced his artistic development. Ultimately, Mick believes that the work itself serves as the best teacher. Mick is a signature member of the Philadelphia Watercolor Society and the Baltimore Watercolor Society. He is also a member of the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, the American Watercolor Society and the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association. Mick's watercolor art interprets realistic landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes making use of personal insight and a reverence for the principles of design. He is ever inspired by the natural landscape of the Brandywine Valley, Maryland's Eastern Shore, the rugged New England coastline, and travels abroad. Much of his recent work has been completed en plein air, inspired by the surrounding outdoor scenery and activity.
