John taught a variety of subjects including drawing, painting, photography, jewelry, ceramics, woodworking, fabrics, sculpture, and art history. This rich teaching background reflects his curiosity and love for many different art mediums in his own artwork. John currently has focused on painting a variety of styles ranging from realistic to abstract, using acrylic or egg tempera. Process is important in John’s artwork, and the viewer can get a sense of the struggle that the artist experiences in the creation of his/her work. John most recently has been painting “I love you” hand signs, influenced by his late wife whom he misses every day, and the silk screens of Andy Warhol, who used multiple images and exciting color. John’s display will have a variety of “I love you” hand sign painting available for sale in the gallery.
