About the artist

Andrew Reach

Born 1961, Miami Beach. Reach received a degree in Architecture from Pratt Institute in New York and had a successful 20 year career as an architect. His last building as project architect with HOK Architects was the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University in Miami. In 2003, a spine disease resulted in a spinal fusion comprising more than two thirds of his spine. In the fall of 2004, at the commencement of construction of the Frost Museum, due to complications he would undergo a lifesaving surgery marking an end and a new beginning; reinvention from architect to visual artist working in the realm of digital media.

Andrew Reach, who lives on Cleveland's near West Side, is in constant pain from a debilitating spine disease. He turned to producing computer-generated art after his health forced him to give up his profession as an architect.
