Andrew VanSickle became involved with the outsider art phenomenon in 1987, when he lived with the grandfather of the trade in Georgia. After moving to Cincinnati, Andrew started collecting V & V artwork in 2004, and joined the board in 2006. He now serves on the Fundraising Committee.

Andrew is the Sales Manager for his Web design firm Primax and also owns AVS Art Gallery—where he displays not only his own silkscreens and pop-art, but also that of other outsider and contemporary pop-artists. Andrew’s favorite part about V & V is the artists, because he finds their freedom and happiness refreshing. His main goal is to develop a base of collectors that visit V & V galleries and shows on a regular basis, and he’d eventually like to see the opening of a Visionaries and Voices Museum.

Besides V & V, Andrew is involved in a diabetes research funding group and enjoys playing with his pug named Bill Murray. Andrew is a resident of Covington, KY.
