Founder & Curator
Artist, Engineer, Collector
"Art gave me what technology never could—a direct connection to creativity and meaning. Now I want to help others discover that same connection."
As both an artist and collector, Andrew brings a unique perspective to curating the ArtLove Salon. His journey from engineering (Ph.D., Stanford) to discovering art's transformative power through daily creative practice has shaped his vision for this space.
In 2015, he committed to creating one artwork every day for an entire year. That daily practice of making something beautiful opened his eyes to art's power to connect us to what matters most and to each other.
Now, combining his analytical mindset with an artist's sensitivity, he curates the salon's collection with a focus on works that create meaningful connections and celebrate the incredible talent in the Pacific Northwest.
"We believe in the power of art to bring people together."
