About
.../miscellaneous - is a personal journal, self educational in nature, containing notes and images that inspire me, or that I wish to learn more about - as such, it includes works by other people as noted with full acknowledgment and credit to authors and sources where possible.
I also share content of my own making that I think is worth sharing with a larger audience. If there is any work by others who object to having their work posted here, I will remove the content if so requested.
Visit Matt Niebuhr - Works a site featuring my work exclusively. I established my studio practice in the summer of 2012 named "West Branch Studio".

Studies - something really wonderful about certain studies (a trail of trial and error - in the artist’s mind) - sometimes there is an energy and freshness in them that rivals a final work - that may be the case with these!

New work on drafting film with a bit of color.
My goal is trying to find my own way somehow with this - maybe it expand with materials and process exploration. I want to move this more towards the shimmer series work. Admittedly, I am seeing references to some art I greatly admire. I need to keep exploring to find more independence from those influences.
