ELECTED IN 1981
Born 1947 in London, Keith Andrew studied at Beckenham School of Art and Ravensbourne College of Art and Design. He worked in London as a graphic artist before turning to painting full time in 1975, when he moved to Anglesey.
The late Sir Kyffin Williams wrote:
"Keith
Andrew is moved by the little things; by the narrow stream, by the
broken window, the grouting of an ancient roof or by the lichen on an
island wall.
Quiet,
energetic, and determined, Keith Andrew is now very much a man
locally regarded as an important cultural figure and we, who were
born on the island, are grateful to him, and hope he will stay with
us, recording a Wales that is in constant danger from the seemingly
inexhaustible desire of man to scar, pollute and desecrate our
inheritance.
Keith Andrew records our past and our present and in doing so warns us through apathy it might all be lost."
