Vahl’s work can be seen in a wide variety of environments and
in many personal collections, including that of Robert Ayers of
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Isaiah McKenzie of the Denver
Broncos. He is forever pushing the envelope in an effort to
constantly improve and distinguish his creations in his quest
for success. He has filmed with NFL Films for an introduction
of his 4 Jokers piece that was commissioned by Robert Ayers,
and has been on Channel 10 News for a segment on his work.
In addition, he uses his art to help support several charities.
In fact, he can often be seen painting at fundraisers, where
his completed works are sold to aid the causes that are being
supported by the events. Vahl understands the importance of
being a part of the community. He works to make the world a
better place as he pursues his profession as an artist, carefully
balancing his own needs with those of the people around him.
He is caring, talented and young, which makes him the type of
artist who will become an inspiration for others, as he continues
on his path to success. 9
