Hello! My
name is Andy Volpe (Andrew P. Volpe), Welcome to my webpage. I am a
Living Historian and Artist currently residing in Central Massachusetts
(Worcester area). I was
born in Plymouth, MA, lived in Lakeville, Plymouth, and Georgetown, but I
“grew up” in Sturbridge MA, and then lived in Westfield MA (college). For my Living History
programs, I started giving public presentations in 2002, and have been
regularly going to schools and colleges since 2004. My best-known program is of a Roman Legionary soldier, and
there is more detailed information on my programs on the Living History page) Aside
from Reenacting / Living History, I am also an Artist, specializing in works
on paper, pencil drawing, as well as Printmaking. I hold a Bachelor’s of Arts in Fine Arts, concentration in
Drawing and Printmaking from Westfield State College (class of 2000). For more on my artwork,
see the gallery , About my Artwork , and my artist resume As of
October, 2011, I’m now doing the Art and History thing ‘Full Time’. Some of
my varied interests: A History
Geek, I’ve loved learning history since grade school. An
Aviation geek, I’ve loved learning about aircraft, fighter jets and such for
as long as I can remember. I love collecting squadron patches, going to Airshows,
and was huge into scale modeling throughout Junior High and High School. I’m a
Gamer, I enjoy playing games from Chess to Board Games to Tabletop Miniatures
to Video/Computer/Console games. I meet with friends and family for “game
nites” on a regular basis. My brother and I “grew up” on Atari, Commodore
C64, SEGA Genesis… I’m a
Bookworm. I am seriously
addicted to books. I buy/horde them and read them constantly. I seem to be growing a collection of
vintage books, manuals on Printing and Letterpress. And I’m a
music nut, a fan of ‘rock and roll’ music from the 1950’s to the 1980’s, some
Classical, some Blues…Sorry, I’m not into the new stuff or Country. |
