Career
Although trained as a sculptor and painter, at the age of 32 he began to draw using coloured pencils for the first time. Between 2005 and 2006 he entered his first coloured pencil drawings in two separate international competitions held by the Colored Pencil Society of America. At this time he was recognised by Gerald Peters, one of the world"s most respected dealers of American art of nineteenth and twentieth centuries and was invited to show in his gallery in New New York
In 2007 Prismacolor approached Dold with a view to using his award-winning picture "All is not Lost" on their new line of watercolour pencil crayons, and later that year Prismacolor introduced the product with Dold"s picture on the tin.
In 2007–2008 Andrew Dold"s work was used by the Strathmore Hall to help promote an upcoming event of colored pencil works. Andrew Dold has also help to create several music Civil Defense covers for Cameron Austin, both in 2008 and more recently in 2010.
Since 2009, Dold has become heavily involved in culture jamming. Wanting to move away from presenting work in traditional settings, he creates murals using a variety of media on billboards, signs by the side of the road, interactive instillation works around his home of Toronto, Ontario, and abroad.
His students undertake original projects that challenge the boundaries of learning set within a unique classroom environment.
Andrew is currently exploring Challenged Based Inquiry with his students integrating the community around him in real world projects.
