Hans retired from the museum field after working for 30 years as an exhibit designer and fabricator. He is the owner of Multi-Media Etc., which sells his art and offers consulting services. He lives in Seneca, Wisconsin.
About his work:
Imagery that reflects philosophy of life, shapes, textures and relationships form a dimensional blueprint reflecting how the universe moves and flows. His work expresses feelings and thoughts, and at times, challenges in which meaning is sought.
April Guest Artist - Chela
Sarah Burnham Mertz, Chela, has been making art for the past 50 years. She invented the technique she uses to make her Botanical Prints.
