Andy DeComyn
Public Art
I have been a practicing sculptor since I left Art college in 1985, working mainly in commercial art.
In 1997, I returned to full time education and graduated in July 2000 with a BA Hons in Art and Design.
Since then I have been working chiefly as a Public Artist along side my other role as a House Husband and Dad.
