Welcome to my website
A Visual Artist looking for hidden stories in Yorkshire
I’m Andy Mata – an artist on a mission. Searching for the soul in Yorkshire’s landscape, distilling it into line and colour - entrusting it to drawing and paint.
About Andy Mata
After completing a Fine Art degree course at Newcastle University, I'm afraid to say I misspent most of my working life in the printing industry. Now retired and having moved to North Yorkshire, I'm immersing myself in my new environment and translating it into art.
