Andrew ‘Wez’ Westley studied at Cambridge art school until 1977.
He has worked as a graphic designer ever since that time. Beginning with various
commercial studios he went on to work as an illustrator with two museums –
Cambridge Archaeology and The Imperial War Museum in Duxford. As one of his
other great interests is History this was a stimulating time for him. When computers
took over the graphics world he was lucky to be given one by a Reggae Collective
to learn its secrets and produce publicity for the West Indian music. During
those years he got to know the ‘Photoshop’ software and used it
in the creation of books, t-shirts, posters and banners. Becoming interested
in the ‘internet’ information revolution he studied web-design using
‘Dreamweaver’. After creating several websites he was offered a
teaching post in Cambridge where he taught many to be ‘weavers of dreams’.
Wez loves movies, motor sport, reggae, real ale, politics and boxing. All these
cultures influence his art – ‘inna dis ya time’.
