Last decade, British artist Andy Brown has painted more than 200 sports stadiums in over 30 countries.

In 2019, he achieved something nobody else has, he visited all 30 Major League Baseball ball parks in a single season and painted what he saw.

Andy paints a few different sports and landscapes too.

He is now in Aotearoa painting the action as the Black Caps take on England over a three test series.

Emile Donovan speaks to him about why he's loves mixing art and sport.
