Andrew Annenberg

Andrew lives on Maui where his zest for life and his love of the tropics imbues his images with an uncanny vibrancy. His art work has tremendous photo-realism with detail to the point of being almost microscopic!  Perhaps this is why Andrew's work has been referred to as "visionary realism".  In fact, the realism in his underwater imagery stems partially from the fact that Andrew loves to actually go skin-diving on Maui.   Much of his artistic inspiration comes from the Lemurian feeling of the Hawaiian islands, his enchantment with the tropical version of paradise, as well as his fascination with the primal, the archetypal, the mythological, and the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Atlantis.  His art work is distributed through his own company - Annenberg Masterworks - and he is one of the featured artists in Iasos' video program "Crystal Vista".
