I have been drawing as long as I can remember and started learning to paint at the age of 14. I attended The Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD and also studied under Snowden Hodges (Honolulu, HI) and Abby Sangiamo (Baltimore, MD). I use a wide variety of mediums including oil paint, acrylic, watercolor, pen & ink, graphite pencil, charcoal, conte, pastel, oil pastel and whatever else I can get my hands on. I also work in many genres, portraits(both people and pets), landscapes, seascapes, still lifes, figurative and abstract. I'm originally from Pasadena, MD and have lived and worked in La Mesa, CA (near San Diego) for about 9 years now. I make my living both as fine artist and graphic designer and am available for commission work. I used to be a paying member here, about 4-5 years ago and then left. I'm posting a few pieces of brand new art as a 'free' member. To view a more extensive sampling of my art, you can go to my Facebook page; 'The Fine Art & Design of Andy Liberto' and hit photos. Either way, let me know you stopped by. AND, Much Thanks in advance for your kind words and/or criticism. It's all greatly appreciated.
