T. Bill Andrews is an American abstract impressionist painter, author and lawyer.
Life
editT. Bill Andrews was born Thomas William Andrews in Kansas in 1958.[1]
Andrews served in the U.S. Navy Nuclear Power Program before enrolling as an undergraduate member of the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop in the mid-1980s.[2] It was while at the Writers' Workshop that he adopted his pen name "T. Bill" (sometimes "T-Bill").[citation needed] He received his doctorate from Yale University, writing a fictionalized memoir of his experiences at Yale entitled Power Ties.[3]
After graduating, Andrews worked as an attorney in various capacities,[4] most recently as Assistant Attorney General of Iowa.[2]
Andrews paints landscapes, florals and representational and architectural pieces in the style of impressionism, as well as figurative studies, but his primary emphasis is on large-format action painting in a style known as abstract expressionism.[1] Long retired, his current painting studio fronts a large horse meadow.[citation needed]
