Andy Cross graduated from Glasgow School of Art in Jewellery and Silversmithing, 1971-75.

In 1985 he decided to concentrate on painting while also pursuing a career in teaching Art and Design in Lanarkshire and Glasgow.

​

Andy paints mainly Landscapes and Still Life in oils and acrylic, with an emphasis on colour, texture and simplification of shape and space, while concerning himself in creating atmosphere rather than photographic representation.

​

He has exhibited throughout Scotland, being selected for solo, two person and group shows having his work regularly accepted for the RSW, RGI, PAI and SSA annual exhibitions.
