About Andrew Larson
Thanks for visiting my website! I currently live in Waunakee, WI, just north of Madison, WI. I am currently working full-time as an outpatient physical therapist in a hospital system and taking on freelance graphic design and illustration projects as they come.
Please email me if you are interested in a commission, buying prints, or would like to see my resume.
In 2005, I received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I double majored in art and zoology, concentrating in graphic design. In December, 2008, I received a Master of Science in biomedical visualization from University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) – one of five accredited medical illustration programs in North America. During my graduate studies, I completed a master's thesis research project that involved human subject-based clinical research. I was honored to present my research at the April, 2008 Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) annual international convention in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I have since been working as a freelance artist specializing in medical/scientific illustration and graphic design. I have contributed illustrations for anatomical books, patient educational brochures, websites, marketing material, and more. I've lived and worked in New Zealand for a year (hense the waterfall picture) and married the love of my life. I then got my Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2016. As a practicing outpatient PT, I have been searching for bridges between the fields of PT and biomedical visualization. I believe I have unique skills I can add to physical therapy and I believe that practicing as PT makes me a better artist and vice versa.
