John Jacobsmeyer had a solo show at Fraser Gallery in Georgetown in D.C. of his paintings based on the abduction sequence from the silent film The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari immediately prior to his residency.

Shortly after the residency he moved to Brooklyn where he paints and prints and teaches.
