Here’s a brief resume:

I’ve had the privilege of showing in a lot of great places. These places include spots all over Michigan (Holland, Grand Haven, Saugatuck, Charlevoix, and Birmingham), as well as Naples, FL, Nashville, TN, Littleton, CO, New York, NY, Washington, D.C., Chicago, IL, and Nairobi, Kenya.

My art has ended up in multiple hospitals, schools, and private collections (including Walter Cronkite, a number of famous musicians I don’t want to name drop, and my Aunt Bev).

Galleries
These galleries currently carry my artwork. If you live near them, go and say “hi”. As you may guess, most galleries that carry my artwork, tend to be colorful, fun, interesting places, so you should have a good experience.

Public Art
You can also find my work increasingly in public places like Treehouse Books in Holland, the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum, DeVos Children’s Hospital and a number of elementary schools around the country (for more on that see "speaking and murals").

Prints & Original Artwork
Here are the prints currently available for purchase. Feel free to contact a gallery (for quick response) or my e-mail (for slightly slower response) if you want.

I have recently switched to reproducing my work as giclees. Giclee is a high quality process that really gives rich color. It also allows me to print smaller runs and so all of my print runs are now 100 or fewer.
