I am an international live sports artist dedicated to documenting sporting culture around the world through painting. My work exists at the intersection of sport, travel, and cultural storytelling. Rather than working solely in a studio, I paint live on location — inside stadiums, grounds, and arenas — capturing the atmosphere, architecture, supporters, and emotion that define sport in different parts of the world.

 

Over the course of my career, I have documented baseball, cricket, football (soccer), American football, golf, tennis, polo, Olympic sport, rowing, and a wide range of international sporting events, exploring how sport reflects the identity, traditions, and communities that surround it.

 

My journey has taken me across 25 countries and more than 150 stadiums and sporting venues worldwide, creating an ongoing visual archive of global sporting culture. In 2019, I became the first artist to paint all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums live.  Alongside independent projects, I have worked directly with major sporting organisations and governing bodies worldwide. My cricket work has included collaborations with national boards including the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and New Zealand Cricket, and I served as the Official Artist for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

Internationally, I have painted at major global sporting events including NFL games in both Mexico and London, every edition of the MLB London Series, PGA golf tournaments, the Winter Olympic Games, polo events, the Henley Royal Regatta, and the WTA Tennis Seoul Open. My work has also documented sport’s social impact through events such as the Homeless World Cup.

 

Within baseball, I have worked extensively with the Great Britain National Baseball Programme, serving as Team Artist across the Senior, U23, and Women’s National Teams. In the Dominican Republic, I created the book El Arte del Béisbol, celebrating the country’s deep cultural relationship with the game.

My artwork has been collected by leading figures across multiple sports, including baseball legends David Ortiz, Juan Marichal, and Robinson Canó, alongside cricket icons Jimmy Anderson, Virat Kohli, and many other athletes and collectors from the international sporting community.

 

 

 

My work is also included in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. My work has received significant national and international media coverage. I have appeared on Sky TV, been interviewed by TNT Sports during the MLB London Series, featured in newspapers worldwide including The i Paper, and have my own dedicated artist page on Baseball Prospectus recognising my contribution to documenting sport through art.

 

In recognition of the cultural significance of my work, I have also received correspondence from Buckingham Palace and am inlcuded in the board games Trivial Pursuit and the card game Top Trumps!

 

 

Beyond major events, an important part of my practice involves working with charities and community organisations internationally, using art to help raise funds and awareness for meaningful causes. These collaborations have included work supporting organisations such as Red for Ruth and Cure Parkinson’s, alongside wider charitable initiatives across the sporting world.

 

At its core, my practice is about more than competition or results. It is about people, place, and shared experience — the collective energy that connects communities across continents. Whether documenting cricket grounds, football stadiums, Olympic venues, baseball ballparks, or grassroots sporting environments, my aim is to create a lasting artistic record of how sport brings people together.

 

Today, I continue to travel internationally, painting live and documenting sporting culture as it unfolds, building a global body of work that celebrates sport as a universal language. You can support me in doing this donating directly to me on this website or at my GOFUNDME here.

 

 

 

ANDY BROWN: Diamonds on Canvas – The Art of Baseball

From PNC Park’s majestic backdrop of downtown Pittsburgh, to the dirt infield of the hallowed Koshien of the NPB, amongst the cheer squads of the KBO and merengue parties of the LIDOM, using paint on canvas for over 10 years I have captured baseball and other sporting and live events worldwide.

 

PNC Park, Pittsburgh, August 2018

My name is Andy Brown and I am an internationally renowned British artist. For over a decade I have travelled the globe with my paints to document baseball: ballparks, stadiums, the players and people who make up the game. So far I have made artwork in 20 different countries all within 9 innings. In the 2019 season I did something no one has ever done before or since, visiting all 30 MLB ball parks in a single season painting the action that unfolded before me.

At the conclusion of my trip, I am exhibited my paintings of all 30 ballparks at Double Day Field in Cooperstown. In all the ballparks in which I have worked, my paintings – and the process of me actively painting during the game – has always attracted a huge amount of attention, giving enjoyment to the fans, players and all involved. I feel that me working in this same way gives your teams fans a unique family friendly live art show with which they can interact and view in between innings and while the game is in progress.

My work has been recognised by news outlets worldwide, with articles written about me in Europe, Asia and the United States of America. I have also appeared on the BBC television and radio, ESPN, Fox Sports, Eleven Sports, and I have sold my work to galleries, museums, and collectors (including MLB players and fans) across the globe! I have even received recognition from Buckingham Palace and have a question about my artwork in the board game Trivial Pursuit.

For me to paint in a ballpark, I require very little. All that I need is a space from which to paint approximately 1 x 1 metre in size. This could be anywhere within the stadium, on the concourse, in a press room or box, or on stadium steps. In my vast experience I have worked in all sorts of environments and places to create my original artwork.
