About the Artist

John spent much of his youth and formative years leaving the trails behind him and entered a world of awe. This is where he climbed and backpacked  in the untamed wilderness areas, where few have ventured to go. He learned and trained to thrive in all that nature had to give him. 

  Today, John is on an adventure of a lifetime as he  travels, lives, breathes and thrives, on and off the trail with his head on a swivel and camera in hand. He is not  wanting to miss anything in Alaska which contains 633,268 square miles. He has a  unique way of capturing Alaska's untamed wilderness, wildlife, history and to share all of it's  beauty.   John's prints are  almost exclusively on metal because the  colors are so vibrant and the radiance is breathtaking.  All the  opportunities that Alaska has to offer here, are  to live in your heart and home.
