About the Author & Artist
John’s interest in art began in early life. In the seventh grade he was given a semester of art lessons which introduced him to watercolor and oil painting. Art was not to be his primary calling. During a four-decade career as a Protestant clergyman making art was pretty much sidelined. When John retired in 2001, the word artist was still etched in his forehead. He picked up his brush and has since painted hundreds of paintings - receiving juried awards for some. To say he is self-taught would not give credit to hundreds of artists who have enlightened him through books and workshops. Reproductions of his art are available through Fine Art America and can be printed in a variety of sizes and on multiple surfaces including shower curtains.
Currently John has four books available on Amazon: A novel: The Bronze Angel; a book of humor entitled: Keep on the Sunny Side; Mother Earth in Pictures and Poetry; and The Many Faces of Love in Paintings and Poetry. See links to Amazon and Fine Art America.
