The Artist:
And a Journey So Far
Born to parents from opposite coasts, Andrew Morris Gilman was raised in Oklahoma City where he explored a wide range of interests — from visual art and sports, to music, stop-motion home movies, and the early days of the internet through AOL and Napster. An active childhood and vivid imagination fueled a creative curiosity that shaped his evolving sense of self.
Backed by the support of close friends and family, Andrew sought professional mental health care in his early twenties. While the path since has not been spared of challenge, his persistence — alongside the steady encouragement of loved ones — has enabled him to take risks, embrace growth, and build stronger, more resilient relationships over time.
Andrew's work as a writer and visual artist resumed after settling in Norman, Oklahoma in 2022, where he is currently based.
