When Andrew was a promising young student he won the Burston award for painting and the John Minton travelling scholarship, which he used to travel around Greece and Turkey for 3 months. The trip turned into a 35 year journey of discovery that has seen him capture the essence of landscapes and culture from war zones to paradise islands such as Barbados, The Maldives and Mustique. "Art became the vehicle for me to indulge my passion for travel", says Hewkin who studied under Peter Blake whilst at the Royal College. His travels have taken him to 56 countries including former conflict zones such as Vietnam, Croatia and the Lebanon. www.andrewhewkin.com Categories:
