The Sketchbook of Andrew Arellano

Andrew Arellano is a local artist based out of Nowthen, MN.

Andrew is a self-taught artist who as a kid, would sit in the cotton fields of West Texas and draw his father’s tractors. He continued to pursue his passion for art at the Art Institute of Colorado. Where he expanded his artistic horizons into charcoal, acrylic, pen & ink. 

Andrew now is returning to his passion, being able to put more time and energy into his art.
