Andre Woodward is a sculptor who lives and works in Costa Mesa, California. Born in Newport Beach, Woodward received a BA in Studio Art from UC Irvine and an MFA in Sculpture from CSU Long Beach. His work has been shown in alternative and traditional sites around California, including many Southern California galleries, the Torrance Art Museum, and the Huntington Beach Art Center. Woodward has received several honors, including a Hoff Foundation Grant and the 2011 Visions from the New California award.

Woodward is interested in biodiversity  and  complexity theory, and the unique balance they embody.  His sculptures attempt to personify the ecological facilitation between nature, technology, and humanity, using a mixture of manmade and natural materials.  His carefully composed objects highlight the urban environment in relation to the natural world.
