From his earliest years in rural Virginia, Andrew loved nature. From crawfish to thunderstorms, he marveled at creativity on display wherever the influence of man was not overpowering.
Growing up, he invented stories to entertain friends. Exploring the limits of photography, he created a style he named ‘natural surrealism.’ He shot photos of real objects to express their hidden extra-ordinary characteristics, or by reworking photographic processes he expanded and distorted what the lens actually saw.
Exploring furniture making, he designed and built unique pieces such as a cantilevered walnut aquarium that defied gravity. Moving on to larger works he studied architecture and opened an office that now provides him full time employment.
His other creations include two beautiful children and a wonderful relationship with his wife Vivian. Naturally, he entertained his children with unique fantasies. Fortunately those stories have been recorded and are now available to children everywhere.
His debut novel The Venus Prophecy is in the emerging genre of cli-fi and uses a blend of science fiction and drama as a vehicle to illustrate our peril. He hopes people worldwide will see what is happening in time to prevent his fictional catastrophe on Venus from becoming reality on Earth.
