Andy Peterson grew up in Minnesota and then spent several formative years in New England before arriving in Lincoln in 2012. He is a firm believer in life-long learning and has collected a degree in Philosophy and a professional certificate in design theory as well as pursuing a second degree in art history. Professionally he has worked for more than twenty years in the retail sector developing a passion for mentoring leadership and operational systems. He is thrilled to turn that experience towards the non-profit sector in support of promoting the arts in Lincoln. Andy has developed his own art practice informed by his curiosity about our world and especially our relationship with wild natural elements. He spends as much time as he can travelling and exploring with his wife and three children.

“The LUX provides amazing and unique opportunities for everyone in the area to engage with art in their own way. Making my own art has been a powerful tool that I have leaned on to learn more about myself and the wider world. I am humbled to get to support this mission for the community.”
