I am an architectural artist, working in pencil, ink and watercolor, and a professional potter and teacher of pottery. I earned my architecture degree at the Syracuse University School of Architecture and my master's degree in art education at Queens College of the City University of New York. I am the founder of Andrew Quient Pottery, a production and teaching studio, operating in Glen Cove, New York from 1975 to 1999 and in Williamsburg, Massachusetts from 1999 to 2014.
I now focus on creating perspective renderings of architecturally significant buildings in New England and Italy. My specific interests are the Beaux-Arts public architecture of New England and its cultural forerunners in the medieval and Renaissance architecture of Italy. In recent years I have divided my time between western Massachusetts and the Italian region of the Veneto, creating a visual record linking them in time and place.
I still maintain my activity in ceramics, principally as a teacher. I formerly taught at colleges and universities in the New York area.
Representative works from my current architectural portfolio can be viewed on this site. I offer limited edition prints of my work, produced on archival paper, with signature and edition number.
