About Johnny

I enjoy photography, painting and drawing and my latest works allow me to enjoy all three plus more.

My introduction to photography was in black & white, with my first artwork published in the 1970’s. After many years of enjoying black & white photography, I began experimenting in the darkroom with techniques to alter my photographs. The unique interpretations of my photography evolved through my experimentation with Polaroid film in the 1980’s. This led to my artwork appearing in California galleries alongside the works of such famous artists as Douglas Kirkland, at the renowned Art-A-Fair in Laguna Beach, and most recently at the juried Napa Wine Train show. Ultimately, some of my art was sold to Hallmark Cards.

Recently, I became interested in expanding my medium, and turned to mixed media. My latest works combine different techniques to obtain an impressionist look.

This new medium allows the artwork to be transferred onto larger formats. Printed on canvas, the pieces now have an added texture. The art comes framed in black or white wood, adding another dimension. Hope you enjoy this unique vision of art.
