The Blue Heron Gallery is pleased to be working with the estate of the late artist Andrew “Andy” Fagan (1930 – 2009.) Andy was a painter and sculptor, and a beloved art teacher at El Camino college for thirty years. He was also a good friend.
Mr. Fagan was trained in the classical methods of stone carving by one of the finest artisans of Italy, Gio Pomodoro and ultimately became his assistant. Andrew Fagan had prominent exhibitions and commissions all over the world. I am proud to now be representing his work. This is a small sampling of the work that is in inventory.
