Andrew attended the Maryland Institute College of Art, earning a BFA in Painting. Missing South Carolina, he moved back and opened Mastriani Studios. This Charleston-based company was focused on murals, Trompe l’oeil, lime plasters, and decorative painting. For 15 years, he ran a rewarding business working with wonderful artisans, designers, craftsmen, and of course exceptional Patrons. In 2015 he made the difficult decision to walk away from commissions to focus on more personal art. Andrew now lives in Asheville, NC. You can often find him plein air painting in nature and drawing in his studio.
