Prolific Art Concepts

Artwork by Andrew R. J. Nord
Landscape Orientation
Portrait Orientation
My son, Andrew, celebrated his 4th birthday in August 2015, right around the time this photo was taken at Steamboat Park in Pierre, SD. He is my only child. I was 50 years old when he was born, old enough to be his grandfather. Since his birth, I have always I've tried to foster his spirit of adventure and discovery. It always makes me smile to see his face when he learns something new.
Below are his artworks, including his acrylic paintings (Landscape and Portrait Orientation), wooden objects he painted, melty beads and more.
