"My
artwork is meant to recall the beauty, majesty and mystery of
the life we live, and the world we live it in. Painting the
small delicacy of the light on a child¹s face, or the overwhelming
power and grace of the sky at sunrise, is my attempt to capture
some of that wonder. Through my work I hope to remind you and
myself how truly wonderful, complex, and vivid life is. Whether
we are looking into the eyes of someone we love, or struggling
just to breath, life is a priceless gift."

John received his training at Art Center College of
Design and began his career as an illustrator. His paintings
have appeared on movie posters, books, billboards, magazines
and advertisements throughout the country and around the world.
Seeking an additional
outlet for his creative vision, John began his Horse Series,
bringing together equine beauty and power with emotions of the
human spirit. When the publishers of Walter Farley's The Black
Stallion saw John's work, they were inspired to re-issue this
classic series, commissioning 24 new paintings by John for the
covers.
