Life:
Best known as a member of the late 60's-early 70's Detroit power rock trio 3rd Power, multi-faceted Jem's artwork ranges from cartooning, to photography, to painting, to sculpture - all of which (1) he does simultaneously and (2) supports with his talent at automotive design. (The amazing part is that he does it all well.) Aside from his lovely, serene nature photography, other works are playful, pop-ish, colorful, full of boundless enthusiasm for life and a riot of fun for the viewer's eye!

- Jungle Bird, comic and sequential art series, 1980s-present
- Mural series, Pontiac General Hospital Pediatric Center, 1989
