Andrew Squire was born in 1954. He originally trained as an architect graduating from Manchester University School of Architecture. He has been a professional Scottish artist and designer, based in Glasgow, for over 30 years.

Andrew Squire has travelled and exhibited widely, with residencies in Iceland, Canada, Nepal, and Tanzania. These experiences have fed into his development of a wide-ranging visual language, reflecting the complexity of human perceptions. His deceptively simple paintings have eclectic roots, drawing variously on the elemental space and light of the West of Scotland, the inner landscape of the subconscious, and iconic images of birds and beasts. His paintings are beautifully composed and make confident use of the visual silence of empty space. There is a recurring contemplative quality and stillness in Squire's paintings which reaches past the here and now to something beyond.

Andrew Squire produces art works of evocative, iconic images of birds and animals. His paintings contain bold intense concentrations of colour, but always there is a strong sense of space in his compositions. – which resonate against each other, striking up complex relationships of their own. Objects, reduced to their visual essence, flicker between the imagined pictorial space they inhabit and the two-dimensional surface of the panel; this tension is central to his compositions, endowing them with a distinctive energy. His most recent work is inspired by time spent on the coast of Newfoundland.

Speaking about his art work Andrew Squires says:"Following my growing commitment to ecology and sustainability, my artwork is continuing to make a steady move away from an anthropocentric perspective, towards geocentrism. Put plainly, and despite the subtext of the last 2,500 years of Western culture, humans and their doings are not the centre of the universe. The theme of much of my art work has been a contemplation of the boundaries of the tangible world and that which lies beyond, using a visual language of isolated iconic and archetypal images, often of animals and birds, carefully placed in their pictorial space."
