Andrew Randall was born in October 1985 and developed severe Autism at about 20 months of age after receiving the MMR vaccination while he was recovering from an illness. He started painting at age 19 when he attended a recreational group for teens and young adults with Autism. Andrew creates beautiful and intriguing abstract paintings and typically uses acrylic on canvas. He often adds sand to the paint because he loves the interesting textures it creates, and the ability it gives him to add dimensions to his work.  His method of painting is intuitive; he never uses visual references when he creates. He has unique method of brushstroke which results in unpredictable combinations of color and explosive forms of textured paint. Due to his limited language, we cannot know just what it is that inspires him, but it is clear that he paints from his heart. Andrew takes great pride in his work and he also finds it to be a very fulfilling and relaxing outlet. One of his favorite subjects to paint is the ocean. Andrew has been in 3 shows in Providence RI that feature artists with Autism. Recently his paintings were part of a show for the visually impaired at the Tsetse Gallery, New London CN. He has a painting in featured in the November 2008 Glimpse Magazine and he will have one of his paintings in the book “Autism Tomorrow” by Bill Davis which is scheduled to be released March 2009. Andrew comes from a family of artists including his Grandfather, Al Baker, Artist In Oils, and his sister, Allison Randall, Ceramic Sculptor.
