AboutAndrew’s passion for painting and drawing has been a lifelong obsession.
Andrew Hillhouse works primarily in acrylic paint on canvass from his studio in the Sunshine Coast hinterland west of Eumundi.
His formal training is as an Architect/Urban Designer. His architectural training involved a significant amount of drawing and art history which complimented his own personal investigations in pastels, acrylics and water colours.
Andrew’s current body of work is characterized as abstract impressions of the natural environment, designed to evoke emotional responses. His series “There is Another Sky” features highly textured paintings that capture moments or fragments of memory in a pixilated, pointillist style. These works are unified by their depiction of light using textured acrylic paint with varying degrees of translucency and reflectivity.
