Andrew Stock (born 1960)[1] is a British artist who has been painting wildlife and landscapes since 1978.[2] He was the President of the Society of Wildlife Artists[1] from 2004 to 2009, and Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers.[1] He is the brother of Jon Stock, a British journalist and author.

Stock lives in Dorset and held his first solo show at the Malcolm Innes Gallery in London in 1981,[1] followed by shows at the Mall Galleries in London and also abroad. While at school he was encouraged and inspired by Sir Peter Scott the conservationist and painter.[3][4] He also draws his inspiration from his visits to his home in Dorset, the Outer Hebrides, Sutherland, France and Kaladungi, Corbett National Park, and Kumaun Himalaya in India.[1]

Stock paints in oils and watercolours and in 1990 he added etching to his folio.[1]

In 2008, he was selected by the Royal Navy to accompany HMS Endurance to artistically record the wildlife and landscape of Antarctica.[4] The resulting work was successfully exhibited in a one-man show at the Frost & Reed Gallery in St James's, London, in June 2009.
