About

Matt Niebuhr is an artist living and working in West Branch, Iowa.

.../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.

mattniebuhrdrawings: untitled (shimmer)2012_03_31oil pastel and graphite on paper18” x 23 3/8” (45.7 x 59.4)cmMatt Niebuhr www.mattniebuhr.com Print 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
