Andrew Foster has painted all of his life. He studied Fine Art in Rome and Melbourne and has exhibited widely. Andrew’s work included shows at the National Gallery of Victoria, the Australian National Gallery and Heide Gallery.

The inspiration behind ‘Across the Waters’ was the changing light and shadowless tonality. This work is part of a series Andrew painted of Newport Power Station as seen from his local beach in St Kilda. Andrew painted the same scene at different times of day, in different weather to catch the changes of colour and light.
