Andrew Peters (1954-), American painter. His paintings are the product of his life in nature. He grew up in Conbraves, Iowa, often hunting and fishing in the Missouri Valley with his father. In the nearby Fontener Forest Nature Reserve, he studied ecology under the guidance of naturalist James Malkowski, painting birds from living and Audubon prints, and academic painting in Fran Day's studio. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Iowa State University with a minor in art and at the age of 22 won the Iowa Duck Stamp Contest, which kicked off his artistic career.
