Andrew Kimpton was born in Melbourne in 1967 and currently lives and works in Yandoit, Central Victoria.
After working with Victorian sculptor, Russell Petherbridge as a studio apprentice, Andrew went on to develop his skills as a blacksmith and welder in Melbourne, working with glass artist Mark Douglass and later at Abbotsford Iron, gaining experience in project management and construction of architectural works as well as sculptural pieces.
In the years since, Andrew has continued to produce in the studio and forge he created in Yandoit, specialising in bespoke design, hand forged iron work and a variety of metal work ranging from commissioned sculptures to one-off architectural artworks such as gates, doors, furniture and balustrades.
Having built a 1920s vintage car from some remains found in the bush in Central Victoria, Andrew continues to pursue his interest in the history of automobiles, recreating original fittings for a variety of vintage cars.
