Instructor - Andrew Cheddie Sookrah

“Andrew Sookrah is that rare combination of an accomplished artist who is also a gifted teacher. He clearly explains and demonstrates his process, while also giving ample individual attention to each student in the class. Andrew always strikes the right balance between making class challenging and making it fun.”

He is a raw colourist whose free brushwork is confident and powerful. His strengths can be seen in his strong sense of design, exquisite use of effective composition, confident presentation of bold colours… and in his figurative and portraiture work, his capturing the raw essence of the human spirit. His is a masterful expression of the unity of nature as shown in his passion for the Canadian landscape and Arctic.
