Artist Bio
For the past three decades, British born Andrew Leicester has created public art projects throughout the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. His dedication to public art stems from his desire to make art accessible to all people, and, to drive this accessibility, his projects are always tightly woven to the social, historical, and environmental characteristics of their location. Leicester has won numerous awards for his work, as well as fellowships from the McKnight Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, among others. His most recent work addresses the issues of sustainability, most specifically wind and solar power, and reclamation.
