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".
Matt Niebuhr - Drawings a visual journal of my work.

Matt NiebuhrPrint edition or original (and others) available to browse here… thanks!
Looking back: I think it is particularly fitting that this is my “top post” (in terms of notes) for the year… thank-you.
The current cultural issues of the day - seemingly seep into the mind and perhaps find a way to be expressed in the drawing process and that’s a good thing.
Looking ahead: My thanks to you for the expressions of support and comments and here’s to you, a new year coming and high expectations of what might lie ahead!
All the best,
Matt
