About the Artwork

Listen to the artist statement for Forest Path

I love to be out in nature. I love to sit under trees and listen to birds and pretend that nothing else matters.

My piece "Forest Path" is a "real life" pixel art that depicts my happy place, and the path that leads to better things.

Listen to Andy's bio

I am a very creative person; I love to write and draw and sew and have a lot of different hobbies. Real life pixel art is a newer one, but one I really enjoy. It ties together my love of video games and a traditional medium like painting.

I have autism and a chronic pain disability called Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder. My creative outlets keep me sane and help me find meaning in my life. I am a very ambitious person but struggle a lot with the barriers my disabilities give me. Art is something that helps me follow my dreams without causing myself more pain.
