They now live in Surf City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John is an accomplished artist with works across the country to include Alaska and Hawaii. He has done ballet backdrops, murals, carousel animals, to mention a few projects. John works in all artistic mediums, including painting, drawing, carving, sculpture, printmaking, mixed media and airbrushing. He has had one-man exhibits, and has received many awards, and his work is many private collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When not busy on a commissioned piece, John works on new pieces in his studio. He is presently creating with charcoals on canvas. He finds it very dramatic, textural and loves the effects achieved by playing the lights against the richness of the darks that only charcoals can achieve.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-coblocks-gallery-masonry masonry-grid has-lightbox has-medium-gutter\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2001\" data-src=\"https:\/\/artexposure50.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9035-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Image gallery image\" class=\"wp-image-3615 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/artexposure50.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9035-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/artexposure50.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9035-450x352.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/artexposure50.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9035-1024x800.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/artexposure50.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9035-768x600.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/artexposure50.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9035-1536x1201.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/artexposure50.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_9035-2048x1601.jpeg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px;
