Baker Andrew Bernard

Andy was born on 6 June 1963. In 1983, while touring Switzerland on his motorbike, he was involved in a serious accident after dozing off at a speed of 120 km/h. As a result, his left arm was amputated and his right arm left paralysed.

In 1988, Andy left Great Britain and moved to Australia, later settling in 1989 on the Indonesian island of Bali. He lived there until March 1998 in the village of Ubud, known as the island’s spiritual and cultural centre.

During his time in Bali, in 1996, Andy was introduced to mouth painting by the Canadian artist and art professor Morrie Rohrblick. This encounter marked the beginning of his artistic journey and his exploration of painting as a form of creative and personal renewal.
