Andrew Peters' paintings are the result of a life spent in nature. Growing up in Council Bluffs, Iowa, he was usually hunting and fishing with his father in the Missouri River Valley. At nearby Fontenelle Forest Nature he was mentored in ecology by naturalist James Malkowski. He drew birds from life, books, and Audubon prints, and studied academic painting in the studio of Fran Day. He earned a bachelor of Sciences degree from Iowa State University with a minor in art, and won the Iowa Duck Stamp competition which launched his fine art career.

As a boy Peters frequented the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha to study Karl Bodmer watercolors which kindled his passion for travel and painting onsite. He roamed Africa for a year painting game animals and indigenous peoples resulting in fifty-six oils shown in major exhibitions at the Joslyn and the Denver Museum of Natural History. He has painted throughout North America and in Romania, Morocco, Spain and Ireland.

During the decade he lived in Santa Fe Peters painted thoughout Northern New Mexico pursuing the traditions of the Taos Founders. His plein aire paintings faithfully capture light and beauty from life and are key to the veracity and integrity of his richly imbued larger works. "A painting should read like a window onto a place," he says, "luminous and fresh." He holds firmly that light not line determines form.

Andrew and his wife Dawn live in Arizona.
