Andrew Kennedy was born in the North of England but has lived most of his life in Sussex and Kent. After his school years he joined the Blue Star line as an able seaman.  During these years he was greatly inspired the works of J. Spurling and W. L. Wyllie. Returning from sea, in 1961, Andrew became a fellow of the Royal Society of Marine Artists (R.S.M.A. no. 1709).  His many and varied experiences of naval life and later living and sailing on the River Medway all served to further foster his great passion for marine art work.  Painting in oils and water colours Andrew made his living through his art work.  Andrew loves to recreate great scenes from the past - Victory at Trafalgar, The Breaking of the Temeraire and of course The Titanic.  His detailed knowledge of naval history combined with his artistry has magnificently captured many such scenes.  He is available for commissioned work of all varieties but especially in the area of marine art.  He can be contacted via the 'Enquiries' link below but first visit the galleries and sample his work...
