About Andrew Forrest
Andrew is a long-time volunteer at Towner and in 2012-2013 researched on the gallery's behalf a large quantity of art and memorabilia relating to the artist Harold Swanwick. This extensive archive covers material relating to Towner's own examples of Swanwick's work, but also his career more broadly.
Andrew is deeply interested in art history, especially that of the 19th and 20th centuries. He enjoys painting scenes of Paris at night, as well as the landscape of the Downs.
