Andrew has exhibited both in the United States as well as in Europe, most specifically in St. Petersburg and Siberia. His paintings are small, witty icons influenced by him impressions both of his Russia heritage and items he finds in newspapers and on the Internet. Painted on clear plastic known as “shrinky dink” and often accompanied by written narratives, these images range widely in subject matter. Some are about Andrew’s early years growing up at Windsor, where he lived with his family which included his Grandmother, the Grand Duchess Xenia, who was the sister of Czar Nicholas. He participated in an American film for HBO called “the End of a Legend” about the findings of the Romanoff bones and the subsequent DNA investigation. He recently had an exhibit at Gallery 16 in San Francisco in conjunction with their publication of his book “The Boy Who Would Be Czar”, and an exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Artist’s Gallery. Last summer he was on “The Today Show” for NBC about his life in Inverness, which also included some film clips about his Russian background.  National Geographic recently documented Andrew’s DNA procedure for a film about the most recent findings of the last two of the Czar’s children, his only son and probably Anastasia.

Andrew was born in London, served in the British Navy and came to the United States in the late 40’s and now resides in Inverness with his wife, the painter, Inez Storer. He was recently given a lifetime supply of Shrinky Dink plastic from their headquarters in Wisconsin and if one visits his home in the old Inverness Hotel, it isn’t long before you are sitting at the kitchen table making shrink art, young and old alike!
