Andrew Abbott creates multi-layered, seemingly obsessive artworks, with non-traditional found materials such as cabinet doors, shopping bags, notebook paper, polystyrene, and occasionally a canvas. He received his BA in Studio Art from The University of North Carolina (Charlotte/Wilmington). Abbott was born in Nova Scotia (Canada), grew up in North Carolina, served in the U.S. Army as a medic, and has lived in Maine, Canada, Puerto Rico, Spain, Jamaica, Nigeria, Louisiana, Philadelphia, Georgia, and California (so far). He currently resides and paints in Brooklyn, New York.
