Andy is one of Al's favorite artists, this is his favorite piece, he has this print hanging on his wall.
The cultural values, and faith instilled throughout his Amish upbringing are all direct influences in the refined pencil work of Andy Mast. Realizing his passion for drawing at an early age, he honed his artistic skills, drawing deep into the night under lantern light following long days on the family farm. Longing for a mentor and craving constructive critique, his hard work and intense passion for creating art, from simple moments in life, quickly became a catalyst for maturing as a professional artist despite his exposure to formal training. At the young age of 17, tragedy struck Mast, when suffering a horse related traumatic brain injury that plunged him into a five-year journey engulfed by overwhelming disability and darkness. Through this dibilitating time, drawing became his sanctuary. His innate "God Given" talent became a refuge allowing him to express his despair, yet experience hope beyond it. Despite this challenging journey, Mast continually strives to communicate emotionally, through the language of art, evoking courage, peace, hope, and healing through his exceptional artwork.
