What Does “Made in America” Really Mean?!

Good question.

Here is what “Made in America” means to me.

It is not always the easiest path or the most profitable but I go to great lengths to source my products from vendors on American soil.

It’s important to me that each product that I offer is created sustainably by people who love their craft and who are compensated properly for their time and energy.

From the farmers growing the cotton, to the weavers, to the picture framers, to the printers I use to image my paintings and reproduce my prints.

No sweatshop labor here. All love. All American.

When you purchase products from my shop, I can confidently say thank you from literally hundreds of American families whose livelihoods your business supports.


Blog :: An Art Pilgrimage to France and Italy

August 29, 2019 / Blog, News / 0 Comments

Ciao Amici (or hello friends, as we say in the US!)

Sliding back in the studio after an adventurous summer on the road.

I must confess that I am a habitual workshop attendee. I love diving into the process of learning new skills. More than that, I love the people that I meet.

I hopped the pond for three weeks to study at the Visions in the Mischtechnik Seminar hosted by the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art. It was by far, one of the best workshops I’ve attended in terms of the richness of the experience and the quality of learning.

We stayed at Torri Superiore in Ventimiglia, Italy, just off the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, near the border of France. The ancient stone facade of Torri Superiore was nestled comfortably in the foothills of the Alps. Those mountains were a genuine focal point of beauty and a potent source of magic for the retreat.

The artists hailed from around the world and a common thread of rebirth and self-healing wove everyone’s art together.

The medieval village of Torri was entirely secluded from modern day activity – the closest store was a 20 minute bus ride into town. The inner worlds were more accessible without distraction and visions came like a flood.

There we were, entrenched in our paintings like the old masters, feasting on delicious organic food and wine like kings, occasionally breaking for a dip in the crisp Alpine grotto over the hill. It was both glorious and productive. By the end of the workshop, I finished three paintings that were showcased at the closing party and art show (my first exhibit in Europe!)

We formed a unique bond with the people who reside at Torri. At one point, the entire village was dancing to acoustic folk music together in a large circle like a scene out of a Disney classic. It was a truly authentic Italian experience that I won’t soon forget. And now I’m addicted to pesto.

I was stoked to report there’s a new Renaissance happening in Italy and Torri was the beating heART!


Brian Zickafoose Featured in The Jamwich

The Jamwich Issue 84 – May 2019
I have been a huge fan of Taco and Elise Olmstead’s publication and their involvement with the jam band scene for a long time. So I was thrilled when they asked me to be featured artist for this issue. Elise has been healing from battling cancer and the fact that this issue was even happening I felt was an incredible blessing. In the interview, I dive into the spiritual mission of the artist and the challenges of moving my studio and family to New York. It gets pretty deep – well worth the read. A LOT of Love went into this!
