By joining this group you can help me get Jeff Hettwer's paintings into the Walker Art Center and other top art museums! Although his life was cut short we can still see to it that a dream of his comes true. On June 14th, 2008 Artist, Jeff Hettwer was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver. Today there are over 130 of his original oil paintings tucked away in a storage facility that are waiting to be seen. With your help we can ensure that these paintings are put on display for all to enjoy. Please visit his memorial web site at www.JeffHettwer.com to see a small sample of his work. Thank you so much for your support! -Kelly Hettwer P.S. Don't forget to invite your friends to join too!

His work is incredible. It really is a tragedy that he was taken so soon. Everyone needs to see these oil paintings, they are beautiful.

WHY ARE THESE IN STORAGE?? Put them on a wall already. Jeff deserves this.

I looked at the website and I am blown away. The detail is stunning. Bring them to the Walker!

These definitely need to be hanging in a museum instead of sitting in a storage unit. Such a waste of talent to keep them hidden away.
