- About
Andy Buck spent much of his youth living in Geneva, Switzerland while his father, an expert in tropical medicine, worked for the World Health Organization. Immersed in an international environment, Buck gained an appreciation for multiculturalism and was first exposed to the many cultural and geographical wonders of the world. Inspired first by African and Oceanic artifacts through his father’s frequent travels, his fascination with unique artistic perspectives and global interpretations of the natural world has guided his creative practice as a furniture designer and artist. An active maker for more than 25 years, Andy Buck has exhibited his work in galleries and museums throughout the United States, in Europe and Australia. Bringing together traditional craftsmanship, investigations in form, pattern, and colorful painted surfaces, his work of furniture and sculpture is included in both public and private collections. Based in Upstate New York, Buck maintains a studio and leads the Woodworking and Furniture Design program at the Rochester Institute of Technology where he has been teaching for the last 22 years.
