Andi Wolfe is a scientist and an artist. Her academic career is focused on plant evolutionary biology - primarily working on Penstemon, the largest genus endemic to North America, and parasitic plants of southern Africa. Her scientific career inspires her artistic endeavors in wood turning and sculpture with most of her designs based on botanical or biological motifs. Her work with plants also led to her interest in photography, initially because of the need to document her fieldwork, but more recently in exploring nature, landscapes, and people.
