Andrew McNaughton’s beach art

_{Opening 12th April from 6pm, is Andrew McNaughton’s Beach Art. Andrew McNaughton was born in Benghazi, Libya in 1950.  He attended Hill school, Eldoret, for his primary education, went on to Duke of York School in Nairobi and finished by spending four years at Berkshire College of Art studying Product Design.  The subsequent 30 years have been spent engaged in interior design both in the UK and Nairobi, however, all of his projects have always contained elements of fine art. This artist is a passionate naturalist.  Whilst living in Watamu, he has developed a wide range of beguiling fine art and functional pieces made entirely from found, recycled or sustainable objects.
