Happy Wanderers was inspired by a "hike" Brouwer took with his 3-year-old grandson around his yard. They carried walking sticks and on the way started singing "I love to go awandering..." from a song he learned in childhood titled "The Happy Wanderer."

Brouwer holds a BA from Grand Valley State University and an MFA from Western Michigan University. He has been a professor of art at Radford University for 21 years. Brouwer has exhibitied nationally and internationally in a total of 183 exhibitions since 1975, 34 of which were solo exhibitions or installations.
