Hi there,
I’m Josh Van Engen
From a young age, my grandparents encouraged me to see the world through a creative lens. My grandfather, an architect, taught me to observe and sketch from life, while my grandmother introduced me to local art academies. These early experiences laid the foundation for a lifelong dedication to art.
I went on to earn a BFA in Fine Art – Digital Media & Design from the University of Denver, which launched a career as an Art Director and Creative Director. I've had the privilege of working with global brands like Starbucks, Procter & Gamble, and Coty Beauty.
I’m currently working on a series of commissioned car portraits in watercolor and mixed media—a niche I discovered by chance, yet one that resonates deeply with people. Cars embody style, nostalgia, history, and human connection while symbolizing freedom and adventure.
My next series will focus on the human body, exploring the gender spectrum from multiple facets and points of view.
I’m available for custom commissions and limited-edition prints. Let’s create something beautiful together.
