His work is included in a number of private collections and museums, and has been featured in films, on television, and in newspapers and magazines. During his 38-year teaching career at Ohio University, he taught a number of now-accomplished artists." Hostetler's home and studio are located in Athens, OH; he owns a gallery Nantucket, MA.
