I’m Andy O’Rourke, a South Wales-based artist specialising in public art, murals, placemaking and participatory projects.

I have almost 30 years’ professional experience working across community arts, large-scale painting, illustration, education and site-specific projects. That breadth has shaped a practice that combines strong visual design with an understanding of people, place and the practical realities of delivering work in public settings.

I work with councils, schools, cultural organisations, health and community settings, businesses and project teams to develop artwork from initial ideas through to finished delivery.

Some commissions are entirely artist-led. Others involve extensive consultation or co-creation. I am equally interested in both: the common thread is creating work that feels considered, specific to its setting and visually resolved.

My work often combines hand-painted and spray-painted techniques with illustration, perspective, digital media, augmented reality, photography or sculptural elements.

For larger or multidisciplinary commissions I can also work collaboratively through Full Colour, bringing in additional creative and delivery expertise where a project benefits from a wider team.
