GENERAL PERSONALITY||
Andy is an easy going person who loves art and painting. He sees art everywhere, the veins of a leaf, the shadow of a person, the splash of a frog in a puddle. Life, itself, is art. The kiss of a lover, the touch of a feather, the sharp lines of a building, the rays of a setting sun, the blush of a bride, the smile of a baby. He wants everyone to learn to love, or if not love, than to appreciate the work, the talent, the love and the beauty of art.

HISTORY||
Andy is the oldest of four children. His parents were naturalized citizens who owned a Mexican restaurant in Dallas. He has loved art all of his life and discovered he had a talent to draw at a young age. He became so good at it that his parents let him paint scenes of Mexico on the walls of their restaurant.
As a young boy in school he entered several art contests and won nearly everyone one of them. Later in high school he won an art scholarship to attend Maryland Institute College. While in Maryland he decided teaching art would be more profitable than being an artist. He graduated cum laude with honors at the age of 22. Took a trip with friends to Paris, France so he could visit the Louvre and then to Rome, Italy where he could visit several museums.
Returning to the U.S. he finished his education in Boston and then his Doctorate at Vassar where the playboy bachelor met the lovely Amy Porterfield who stole his heart at the ripe old age of 26. Amy was 24. They married and three years later became parents to fraternal twins while he taught art appreciation at the local high school and then junior college before being accepted to teach at Royal Academy. He has been married to Amy for 12 years.

RP SAMPLE||
||Anna tossed her black hair to the side finally walking into the light and back towards her long awaiting car. She climbed in and placed her head against the leather steering wheeling trying not to cry. She then made the journey to her apartment and opened the darkened room to find Diego in the dark. “Diego? What are you doing here?”
“Anna.” Diego's face had started to show lines of sorrow mixed in with regret. “Mark, says it's been months since he's last heard from you. I've been worried about my best friend! Are we still best friends?” Diego's eyes searched hers.
Anna held her breath and she could feel the secret in her heart breaking inside. “We will always be friends, Diego.” She reached out holding his hand. “That's never going to change!”
Their hands united as the pair glanced into each others eyes. The magic of Spain was no longer there, but the hint of what could yet be still remained. It was this moment neither of them spoke. Anna had always wondered what had drawn her towards the awkward Diego. It was a connection she couldn't even explain. She was older, and in many ways he was still a boy. He was unsure of what he wanted, and who he wanted.
Yet that connection remained between them. Now it was stronger, and Anna wondered quietly to herself if Diego understood.
'We will get our chance, if God is kind.' With that thought echoing in her mind Anna smiled. The two reached at the same time holding each others hands.
