Andrew and his wife, [[Matushka]] Galina, who embroiders [[icon]]s, immigrated to America in 1975, and the following year Andrew entered [[St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary (Crestwood, New York)|St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary]] in Crestwood, New York. At St. Vladimir's Seminary he had the opportunity to study with such famous teachers as professor [[Serge Verhovskoy]], Rev. [[John Meyendorff]], and most especially Rev. [[Alexander Schmemann]], an internationally renowned scholar and important leader of the Orthodox Church in America.
Studying the theory and history of iconography at St. Vladimir's, Andrew began to convert his artistic skills into the practical work of writing icons. In the absence of reputable schools of iconography, he gathered knowledge of various techniques and styles from a number of well-known professional iconographers, especially [[Leonid Alexandrovich Ouspensky|Leonid Ouspensky]], Maria Struve, and Elizabeth Osolin, all from Paris, France.
In 1979, Andrew was [[ordination|ordained]] to the priesthood of the Orthodox Church and was assigned to a [[parish]] in New Hampshire. The Nobel-Prize–winning Russian writer, [[Alexander Solzhenitsyn]], and his family became parishioners and close friends of Father Andrew and his wife, Galina. In the same year, on a trip to France, Fr. Andrew encountered the works of a genius 20th century iconographer, Monk [[Gregory (KrougKrug)]]. This very important personal discovery was a turning point in the development of Fr. Andrew's individual iconographic style.
In 1984 Fr. Andrew and Galina received a grant from the Russian Social Fund of Solzhenitsyn to make a comparative study of ecclesiastical arts in the Orthodox communities in France and England. The result of this project was a unique collection of photographic transparencies made of the iconographic works of Gregory Kroug and a number of other contemporary masters of iconography.

*''The Light of Christ: Iconography of Father [[Gregory (Krug)|Gregory Kroug]]'' by Andrew Tregubov ISBN 0881410969
:The icons in this book, reproduced by a special printing process on glossy paper, are the work of the great iconographer, Fr. Gregory Kroug. Fr. Kroug (1909-1969) was born in Russia and lived in France. A reclusive monk who lived in great poverty, he participated in the "Russian religious renaissance," which was, in part, a movement to rediscover the theological significance and artistic beauty of Russian iconography. His work reflects the pure form and content found in the golden age of Russian iconography (14th-16th centuries).
