Andrew Bolam was born in Northern England in 1971. He attended the Newcastle College of Art and pursued a degree in Graphic Design. In 1996, Andrew moved to Lake Tahoe to pursue his interest in painting full time.
Iconic imagery of the West is a a consistent theme in his work. As a young English boy, he was enamored with the American West, the romantic and prevalent narratives of the wild, energetic, spirited cowboys, wild animals, and vast landscapes of natural splendor.
As an adult, he has travelled extensively across the western United States, broadening his appreciation and encouraging his passion for that which makes western culture and themes so uniquely beautiful. In his work, we are confronted with familiar imagery but portrayed in a crisp, modern way. His work is simultaneously energetic and offers viewers an opportunity to stop and engage and appreciate.
