He wasn't so much introduced to an artistic instrument that day, but more a companion for life's journey. His art is in the way he explores life and finds moments that tell stories… it’s in those moments that he lifts his camera to his eye in hopes of documenting what lives there. Andrew’s primary muse is Mother Nature, particularly in spaces she chooses to whisper shadowy words that can only be heard when we slow down and listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button global-button--text image-text__button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/andrew.carruthers\"\u003e Follow on Instagram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Copper Wolf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46823162314935,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/4990\/3713\/files\/andrew-carruthers.jpg?v=1771172384","url":"https:\/\/thecopperwolf.com\/products\/andrew-carruthers","provider":"The Copper Wolf ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
