About the Artist…

John grew up in Sullivan County, New York, an area rich in woodlands, lakes, and the Delaware River; a nature’s schoolroom that helped teach him a love of the outdoors and a desire to capture its beauty and life in paintings. As a youth his ability to duplicate nature’s wonders was recognized early on. Influenced by that recognition, his educational pursuits culminated in graduation from New Paltz State College in New York, with an Honors B.F.A. degree in painting. 

Specializing in watercolors, his paintings have been successfully auctioned through Ducks Unlimited, the Ruffed Grouse Society, the Rocky Mountain Elk Society, and the North American Hunter Retriever Association. He had been a sponsor artist and companion artist in Virginia for many years for Ducks Unlimited. He has won the Virginia State Duck Stamp 3 times. His versatility is shown in paintings depicting landscapes, old farm buildings, hunting and fishing scenes, wildlife, and dog and horse portraits. John sells his art at various events along the east coast. He also does commission work upon request.
