Andres Amador, Earthscape Artist
Andres Amador was born in San Francisco to political activist parents. He attended University of Alaska at Fairbanks and graduated from University of California at Davis in Environmental Sciences. After 3 years of Peace Corps service in Ecuador developing conservation curriculum, Andres returned to San Francisco, soon becoming involved in the Burning Man and underground arts and music cultures. During this time, what started as decor for music festivals developed into his signature mixed-media light sculpture installation series. These evolved into the large-scale, site specific installations using locally sourced, biodegradeable materials, most often done on beaches. Creating artwork commissions has taken Andres all around the United States and the world. Andres lives in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada with his wife and young child.

ATPF was proud to participate in #GivingTuesdayNow yesterday, May 5, 2020! #GivingTuesdayNow is a global day of giving activated as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19, and an opportunity for people around the world to stand together in unity to remain connected and heal.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, ATPF has stood true to our core mission of C.A.R.E.S. (Community Awareness, Advocacy, Research, and Early Intervention Screenings) by continuing to serve thousands of kids and families in our autism community. If you are able, we hope you will make a special gift to ATPF today!

Your gift of any amount will ensure that ATPF is able to sustain basic operating costs and assist in our ongoing efforts to make an impact on the autism community.
