Mr. Brady was born in Shock, W.Va., to Melville Brooks and Jessie (Miller) Brady. He was a 1955 graduate of Stonewall Jackson High School in Charleston, W.Va. He attended Glenville State College for a short time, but left there to serve in the United States Air Force from 1955-1959. In 1965, Andy completed his undergraduate work at San Jose State College in California, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Arts. He obtained his Master’s Degree in Arts in 1967 from San Francisco State College.

From there he transferred his teaching skills to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago as a full-time instructor from 1968-1970. In 1970 Andy became an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Alfred University, where he taught for five years. Throughout his arts career, Andy’s work was the subject of more than a dozen one-man art exhibits. He also received multiple prizes for his works in graphics and painting. In 1975, he settled in Angelica and began his own business in custom design wood crafting under the name of Allegany Woodcrafts, and later Heartland Designs.

  1. Àñdy was weak for a !ong time but he was strong in spirit. His house was very beautiful and very artistic and it was a complete work of art. Being in that atmosphere I would go home and paint a lot and feel so happy to paint. He was not only a great artist but also had understand a lot about problems with people. He might have gotten those interests from being in the military. I wish he had been a teacher at Alfred and me and my husband are so sad that he passed us.
