I’m pleased to announce I was selected to be included in ArtQuench magazine’s Best International Creatives 2017 issue.

so I made some changes to the website, and will be firing up the newsletter soon.
One thing I realized as I dropped bundles of images into galleries here was that they can show the filename and description…over the years my filenames and descriptions have changed. I’ll go in and clean those up little by little, most likely to include the title and date, and possibly media and dimensions (if I get really ambitions). Let me know what you think about the changes.
have a great day,
John
I was recently invited to be a featured artist at ArtQuench magazine, sharing my backstory. It took me longer than expected to write. I’m usually not one to share much about where I came from, I’m much more interested in where I’m at now – but the process was pretty illuminating.
Encouraged by his artistic mother John learns at an early age the techniques of drawing. His travels to different environments affect his work and allow him to grow in new ways. John’s exceptional work shows his range of talent and inspires us to continue to grow in our craft.

Today is the last day to vote for the People’s Choice prize (1st, 2nd & 3rd place) will be based on how many people “like” the work posted on the Facebook event page – so do me a favor and help increase my chances of winning some new art supplies by liking my work there. (I’ll make it easy and add a link to it here)

I’m excited for this Friday! It’s the artist reception for my solo show at Space Gallery – Claremont. The show opened this past Saturday during the Claremont Art Walk, while I was returning from Louisville, Kentucky. I was on a layover in Chicago when my phone notified me that the opening had begun. Since they knew I’d be gone during the opening Space Gallery graciously agreed to also host an artist reception the following Friday – there will be food and drink, live music by Emad Gabra, and I’ll be there happy to discuss my work with anyone interested.
Hope to see you there!
