His artful images inspire us to pause and experience nature with all our senses. Through his daily walks and during work, Andy discovers unique, repeated, and geometric patterns in nature and built landscapes, which produce beautiful and often surprising compositions. From an ice form shielding plant buds to the pattern of a flower’s Fibonacci-spiraled petals, there is so much splendor in the experience of the outdoors year-round. Andy’s illustrative and descriptive presentation of botanical and ecological discoveries is appropriate for all audiences and experiences.
