"Deer" is a mixed media sculpture using aged copper, embossed aluminum, torn hand made paper, found objects, cloth and chain on steel, resin, fiberglas sub-structure with a white painted Wood Base.
John is working with the basic concept of “The Hunted becoming The Hunter”. Where society is potentially headed, and the harm we continue to do to our planet.
This series explores a changing of the guard as such, and the animals that have roamed this planet slowly becoming a hybrid of animal and human.

Presentation
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.
