John’s philosophy of art is straightforward: “Painting, the use of color, value and shading, seems to be the best way of all the arts to convey an emotional image to the audience. The expression in color of the artist’s individual impression of a subject is incredibly intimate. Viewing a work of art, in any medium or style, is the most direct way to experience the internal landscape of another human being. Art, therefore, for me, is a visceral sharing experience.” “In this view of art, the artist becomes both the performer and the performance, and the receptive viewer shares the moment’s vision with the artist. Though transient, the shared vision is a complete experience of the human connectedness.” John is now a full time artist, and has moved from the Factory in Franklin to historic Five Points in East Nashville. John has a studio/gallery at The Idea Hatchery, 1108-C Woodland Street, Nashville, Tennessee 37206. The poster, "Salsadarity" was created in collaboration with John's sister-in-law Nashville graphic designer Susanna k Smith. — Susanna Smith
