ANDY TUOHY
Andy trained as a graphic designer at Liverpool Polytechnic (now John Moores) and worked in publishing and advertising for many years before going it alone as an artist designer. At the same time as going freelance he decided to take the plunge and move to the south coast where he developed a passion for the British seaside.

Coastal living has increasingly influenced his practice as has his study of the work of pre and post-war designers and illustrators such as Tom Purvis, Verney L. Danvers, John Hassall and Frank Newbould.

Andy’s work often includes subjects as diverse as modernist or modernist inspired architecture; coastal landmarks from beach huts to bus shelters; pre and post war buildings; transport; landscapes and seascapes.
