About the Item
Born in 1958, in Southern California, an only child to self employed parents, John spent many afternoons watching television and movies portraying perfect people, in perfect families, living in a perfect society. These shows had a profound impact on his career path. He pursued a career in advertising design, receiving an A.S. Degree in Graphic Design from Mt. San Jacinto College, followed by a B.S. Degree from Brooks Institute in Commercial Photography. Throughout the 80's and 90's, he gained national recognition winning numerous awards, as a photographer in the area of food, celebrities and advertising. Throughout his career as a photographer any spare time he enjoyed was dedicated to creating art, building art furniture and restoring vintage motorcycles. In 2003 John closed his photo studio to pursue his passion for sculpture and began creating several diverse bodies of work. John's art is included in both private and corporate collections, and has been shown in galleries and exhibitions throughout North America.

In the past 12 years, John's garment-themed sculptured apparel has become well-known nationally. He has work in private, public and corporate collections and is represented by 10 galleries throughout the US. Born in the late 50's, his art influence originates from the tv shows and movies.
