Andy Walmsley, Creative Director of Wash Design, is about to take part in his first gallery exhibition at The Longitude Gallery, Clitheroe.

“As my day job became more and more digitised, the desire to get my hands dirty again was overwhelming.”

The exhibition entitled ‘The Big Landscape’, brings together four landscape artists this Autumn. Andy’s work will sit alongside artists Colin Taylor, Steve Rostron and multi-media artist Paul Edmondson.

“I’ve been a chap who has ridden a bike for as long as I can remember. I’ve also dabbled in painting over the last few years. As my day job became more and more digitised, the desire to get my hands dirty again was overwhelming.

So, I now combine my passion for cycling with my passion for painting with an ongoing series of 12”x12” oil on box canvas artworks, dating back to my first piece of work, December 2012.” – Andy
