Andy Beck-
Having been a professional artist since leaving the Royal Air Force Regiment in 1988 Andy Beck has now become well known for his recent major project- The Wainwrights in Colour which has seen him exploring the Lakeland Fells to capture all the scenes in Wainwright’s Pictorial guides. Up until early 2013 Andy ran The Teesdale Gallery in the heart of Barnard Castle, County Durham which he did for 20 years. Reluctantly he had to close the gallery so that he could concentrate his efforts on completing the project. This has given him the freedom to paint at home in his studio or go out gathering references for his work. Andy lives in Teesdale in the north Pennines of England.
The “strings to his bow”
Visitors to this website may be here to follow or view various aspects of his work. Andy is more than just a straightforward artist. As he travels around the country as part of his work he walks interesting routes, takes photographs (mostly for references for paintings), films many of his adventures and quite often gives talks and attends events.
