John's
interest in art started as a hobby but in '84 he enrolled in oil
painting classes. In 1992 he received an invitation to display
his art at a "Cowboy Poetry Gathering" and now attends
various juried shows throughout the year.

His emphasis is on landscapes, wildlife
and portraits and western themes that depict the Cowboy, cattle,
horses and their environment. He utilizes acrylics, oil, pastel,
and charcoal.

Reference material is obtained by photographing
subject matter at rodeos, round-ups, the surrounding country side
and the prairies.

His works are in private collections across
Canada and Europe. In order to make his work available to more collectors,
he also has limited edition prints available.
