Mr. Welden has had his work shown in more than 65 solo exhibitions, and is well known for his incorporation of different types of media into one coherent art form. He has directed a summer program in Florence, Italy for approximately a decade, and has traveled all across the globe, gaining inspiration while collaborating with other artists as a printmaker.

Mr. Welden is also applying for a National Science Foundation grant to work in Antarctica to continue making his unique contributions to the art world.
