Accomplished muralist, installation artist, and educator Brent Houzenga is a New Orleans-based artist originally from Fulton, IL. His career as an artist began while he was living in Des Moines. His work has been featured in publications such as Time Out Chicago, Art+Design New Orleans, and the Rizzoli book Stickers: From Punk Rock to Contemporary Art. He is also the subject of an independent documentary
film titled Brent Houzenga: Hybrid Pioneer, part of the
Made in Iowa film series.
