John is a self-taught oil painter with a passion for the beauty and majesty of the sea. Living the better part of 60 years in northern New Jersey, he would only have access to the beach during vacations, a few weeks a year. Upon retirement in 2016, he and his wife of 47 years, Laurie, moved to Monmouth County. Living now within a few miles of the beach is a dream come true. John vowed that he would never take it for granted and begins each and every day, by going to the ocean and witnessing it in all its glory. John’s art captures all that is coastal. He has also done a vast array of subject matter for commission pieces such as portrait work (human, pet and houses), barns, wildlife and so on.
John is a member of BelmarArts, The Art Society of Monmouth County, Monmouth Arts, The Monmouth Museum, and The Manasquan River Group of Artists. John was the “Featured Artist” at Red Bank Library for March and April 2026. He has received one of four Juror Awards at the 44th Annual Juried Exhibition at the Monmouth Museum and has been the “Featured Artist” at the Point Pleasant Beach Municipal Building Gallery March- May 2024.
