Andy Carey is an independent artist working in Los Angeles.

Born and raised in Greater Boston, Andy demonstrated his artistic sensibilities at an early age while working in everything from pencil to clay to watercolor.

While in high school, Andy became interested in exploring dimensional relationships. One piece would direct the course of his work: a recreation of the Beatles "Revolver" album cover, which creates a multi-dimensional impression by layering different parts of the illustration.

Attending Montserrat College of Art, where he studied both fine art and graphic design, Andy received his BFA in Graphic Design, graduating with Honors. During his studies, Andy explored layering techniques in fine art as well as graphic design. Andy also began collaborating with fellow artist, Marco Cannella, in the pursuit of establishing "over-layerism." Ultimately, this study led Andy to his "Disc Paintings."

In 2002, Andy began the Icon Series with "Liam (Our Kid)". “I incorporate wooden discs into my paintings because I am interested in creating recognizable images with the simplest forms while presenting a multi-dimensional illusion from one perspective. It is achieved by utilizing discs of different sizes, thickness or by layering.” The paintings utilize vivid colors, which orchestrate composition and mood as well as indicate symbolism. Each piece is highly abstract when the viewer is in close proximity and quite recognizable at a distance. Once the viewer is able to visually comprehend the image, it becomes more impressionistic.

In 2003, Andy moved to Los Angeles and continued to work on a series of portraits that establishes the visual aesthetics. Since his move to LA, Andy has taken part in group shows, solo exhibits, and events while working on commissions.
