I am an occasional painter, musician, and portrait artist with five grandkids and a love of animals, the outdoors, and art. Most of my portraits have been gifts for my family and friends, but I also do commissions using photos emailed to me at skipvanlenten@gmail.com, or through my Etsy site.

I’ve also written stories about growing up in northern New Jersey when it could still be considered a rural area and published them on Amazon. I've included some of my favorites here on the Stories page.  

​Prints of some of my paintings are ​available at https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/skip-van-lenten?tab=artwork&imagedeleted=true
