Artist Statement

My work is motivated by the life experiences I encounter through a close observation of humanity and nature and a curiosity and need for constant discovery. My work is constantly evolving as I find my art to be a counter balance to what I see happening around me.

Neil Dreibelbis studio: Phoenixville, PA.
