for all the folks

“Faces In The Crowd” Photo Album

For the first time ever, the FolkArtwork Collective will be live and in person with an exhibit in Des Moines, Iowa. Featuring artwork by self-taught and visionary artists from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.


What a year 2024 was. We pulled off the first ever FolkArtwork exhibit right here in my hometown of Des Moines, Iowa and it couldn’t have gone any better. I want to once again thank everyone who came out to our opening reception and to those who supported Faces In The Crowd throughout all of November.

I have to also personally thank my photography student Emma for coming out to the show and capturing the magical night with these great photos.

The one above here of course, of my son undoubtedly pointing out “that lady lost her eyeball” to my mother is one of my favorite. My children, like most people, were particularly fond of Sarah’s artwork.

There are still works from Faces In The Crowd available for purchase and please enjoy these great photos taken by my very talented photography student.

Thanks again to everyone for all the support in 2024! Purchase artwork from the exhibit below.
