"Chad Niehaus truly lives his art. You may run into him at some out-of-the-way pictograph panel, as he transfers its essence onto a recycled door. Just as likely, you may see him wrestle an oversized canvas into his raft. Reminiscent of Japanese haiku, his brush strokes refine minimalist landscapes - their light, textures, contrasts - depicting the moods of the canyon country."
- Michael Engelhard, Author of Where the Rain Children Sleep and Redrock Almanac
