Alan joined Arts for All Wisconsin as an artist through our Creative Power Call for Art in 2025. He received a Creative Power Award in 2025 for his piece "Growing".

"I have been sketching and drawing my whole life, but started painting 12 years ago. Painting helped me move through a difficult time period in my life. I eventually fell in love and got addicted with the process. It is my safe space. Its a space where I can stop thinking and just be in the present moment. I've been featured in galleries and in group shows across the midwest. I love doing community art based projects and getting to collaborate with other creative humans."
