Biography

Roger Andrews was born in Porthcawl, Mid Glamorgan and was educated at Cardiff High School until leaving to pursue a career in Electrical Engineering with the British Steel Corporation.

Much of his professional life was spent in the Materials Handling industry until diverting to a career in property renovation and development in the early 80's.

Throughout his career he has exploited an innate ability as an artist and sculptor and it was no surprise to friends and family when in 1989 he gave way to this life long passion to pursue a career as a sculptor and model maker.
Since 1990 Roger has devoted his time to being a full time sculptor and has undertaken many commissions for public, private and commercial clients trading under the name of Andrews Studios
