As a small child in North Chicago, Illinois, Andre began creating art...calling his work a "hobby". When the study of architecture in college didn't meet his desire for artistic expression, he changed paths, venturing into the corporate sector. The desire to paint never left him, and he continued painting but mainly for friends. In 1991, while painting for community projects he landed an opportunity with the Bruce Brown Jazz and Art Showcase. Envisioning the possibility of even more work and greater opportunities on the horizon, the young artist began studying graphic design at the Art Institute of Chicago. He also studied his craft at Airbrush Action magazine's "Get Away Workshops", a stepping stone to greater artistic opportunities.
The Chicago native relocated to Las Vegas in 2003 completing his Bachelors Degree from the Art Institute of Las Vegas.
