Andi is a Coventry-based, trans woman and ‘self-taught’ artist who works in oil paint, graphite and pencil. She has a BA(Hons) in English Literature from the Open University.
For Coventry Biennial 2025 Andi will work with the Warwickshire County Council Library Service and Warwickshire Pride to ensure opportunities for Queer people to learn about, discuss and to contribute to local collections and narratives. These engagement activities will result in an exhibition of paintings. She comments:
“I’m delighted to be given the opportunity to work on this project and tell Queer stories from across the region. It is really bold of the Coventry Biennial team and Warwickshire Libraries to take the chance on a queer and trans artist to tell the stories of some of the most marginalised people in society, both historically and in today’s political climate where the government is stripping away trans rights.“
Andi was a top ten finalist for the Queer Britain Art Awards in 2023. She has previously exhibited at MK Gallery, at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum and with the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists and is currently working towards a solo exhibition in Manchester.
