John
spent much of his youth exploring the backwoods and lakes of the
Kawarthas. Once an avid hunter, he had many opportunities to
get close to nature and was touched by its rhythms. Over time, he replaced the rifle with the paint brush and now
attempts to capture that mystery.
During that transition, his recognition has grown and resulted in
first place awards from The Gallery on
the Lake, Buckhorn, Ontario, where his work has
been exhibited, and The Whetung
Gallery, Buckhorn, and
The Ethel Curry Gallery,
Haliburton, where his work is presently on display. John
exhibited at the Buckhorn Fine Art
Festival in August of 2008.
Ostensibly a self-taught artist, John�s primary medium is
acrylics. His interpretation and style, whether painted on
feather, canvas, or in miniature are unique. The detail and
depth of understanding, depicted within each piece, promotes
respect for nature and our environment.
No
matter what the subject, John breathes life and a spirit into
them. His works, which can be found in corporate and
private collections, characterize the native respect for Mother
Earth and their belief that we are transients on this planet and
Earth Keepers for future generations.
From
his home, Nature�s Spirit Studio
in Dunsford, John pursues his passion for painting and
his love of the outdoors. There property enjoys a grand view
of Sturgeon Lake from the southern shore line.

Examples of
John's Work : |
Acrylics on feathers, canvas and canoe paddles, depicting
wildlife and nature.
John also enjoys painting miniatures and has been included in
juried Art Shows in Florida.
With the help of his wife, original feather art is mounted and
framed to wonderfully match the colours and tones of the art work. See
the
Photo Gallery for some framed pieces.
Giclee prints are sometimes available of
John's art. Greetings Cards are also printed.
