Most Lovely 28 Year Long Mentorship : RISD Professor & Student, Andrew Raftery

I met Andrew Raftery, a Professor of Printmaking at RISD in 1995 when I was 19 years old, my sophomore year at art school. Today I'm 47, and his continued presence in my artistic life has had an immense impact on the artist I am today. Hear our conversation about teaching, art, and our relationship through the years. xoxo Prof Lieu
FROM RYAN LEE GALLERY: ryanleegallery.com/artists/an...
Andrew Raftery (b. 1962 Goldsboro, NC) is an artist whose work explores both observational and autobiographic narratives of contemporary American life. His artistic practice rests upon a deep expertise and appreciation for the antique medium of engraving, and his precise and labor-intensive works demonstrate the enduring relevance-and efficiency-of this medium’s application on contemporary subjects to disseminate images that are universally accessible.

"I don't want to be the kind of person who gets mad at baby rabbits" 😭. I think this is all that Andrew Rafferty ever needs to have on his resume . He seems like a genuinely nice person and dedicated teacher. The world needs more people like this.

[@artprof]

If that was on his resume, I would hire him! 🥹 -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist

[@shetlandsheep3081]

There’s prob a difference between undergrad and postgrad: I’m currently doing a Masters and then hopefully a PhD - but at this level I try to see my Masters tutors as “willing accomplices” in my work, that’s what I look for from them !
