Archangels
Archangels is an exploration of time, transition, and the completion of a cycle through twelve mixed media paintings on paper. Created during a bedside vigil as the artist’s father was dying of cancer, each abstract work bears the name of an archangel associated with the Zodiac. Sacred circles and green pathways suggest movement and energy, honoring the passage between physical presence and spiritual journey.
Earthen: Beneath the Surface
Earthen is an exploration of the forces and textures that shape our planet—from swirling cosmic dust to shifting sand, layered soil, and fractured rock. Through an earth-toned palette and richly textured surfaces, the series transforms a turbulent world into quiet spaces for reflection, revealing beauty in the elements beneath our feet.

PANCA MARGA - PATH OF ACCUMULATION
The first installment of the Panca Marga series is called the "Path of Accumulation". These 20 paintings, released in 2021, part of my fine arts painter portfolio, reflect the concept that I commit myself to the life of artist, bringing all my prior life experience into the work, and taking the steps necessary to progress down the path. Each of the paintings carry a title that reflects parts of this journey. Every five years, a new set of 20 paintings are released until I am 80 years old. I hope you will join me in this adventure, and collect the Panca Marga series for yourself.
PANCA MARGA - PATH OF PREPARATION
This collection of 20 abstract expressionist works focuses on building a resilient, sustainable art business.
The past five years brought both economic challenges and profound inspiration. Navigating a changing art market led me back to teaching. This transition ultimately deepened my dedication to my craft. The Path of Preparation represents the persistent effort needed to spark a lasting creative fire. I invite you to explore these new works and join me as I prepare for the road ahead.
FINE ART PRINT ILLUSTRATIONS
Quirky, expressive, and full of personality, John's illustrated characters invite a smile, spark curiosity, or perhaps remind you of someone you know. Whether you find them funny, beautiful, or simply irresistible, these fine art prints bring a little character to any art collection. Perfect for your own walls or as a thoughtful, unexpected gift.
URBANESQUE
Urbanesque explores the city as both shelter and solitude—a place that brings us together while leaving us feeling small within its towering forms. These mixed media paintings on canvas weave hard architectural surfaces with sacred geometry, tracing a longing for something beyond the visible world. Circles evoke the spiritual realm, while scattered squares become windows into it: quiet glimpses of transcendence within the structures of everyday life.
