Andy Cadman was born in Gallup, New Mexico in 1966. He began his career in silversmithing at the age of 23. He is half brother to Gary, David, and Sunshine Reeves, well-known silversmiths. He signs his work as “A. Cadman.” His best work includes stamp work and heavy gauge wires in the traditional style. He specializes in big heavy bracelets, squash blossoms, and concho belts. He has three boys, who are all too young to learn silversmithing although; there may be a future in the art someday. For now, he mostly does collaborative work with designers, but also likes to create his own designs in his spare time..
