Thomas William Andrews (T. Bill) (born 1958 in Hutchinson, Kansas) is an American abstract impressionist painter and author. He paints landscapes, florals and representational and architectural pieces in the style of impressionism, as well as figurative studies, but his primary emphasis is on extremely large-format action painting in a style reminiscent of Jackson Pollock and other painters in the New York School of painting known as abstract expressionism.
After serving in the U.S. Navy Nuclear Power Program, he enrolled as an undergraduate member of the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop in the mid-1980s. It was while at the Writers' Workshop that he adopted his nom de plume "T. Bill" (sometimes "T-Bill". He then received his doctorate from Yale University, writing a fictionalized memoir of his experiences at Yale entitled "Power Ties."
His abstract art painting studio is located alongside a horse meadow. His largest collection of work is at his flagship gallery in West Des Moines. Acquisitions at other galleries are handled by Mid-America Art Brokers of St. Louis.
