John was born and raised in Waltham, Massachusetts. He earned his degrees in fine arts and architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design and taught architectural design studios at the Boston Architectural College in the 1990’s.
John’s interest in making two-dimensional fine art stems from his love of drawing, having grown up in a household full of designers and artists where daily drawing, constructing and tinkering were encouraged. Eventually making his way to RISD, John was inspired to think outside the box at every level of design exploration and credits his first college drawing instructor, Victor Lara, with bringing his love of depicting form and surface fully into the open.
John works in art and architectural practice and continues to explore the relationship of the physical world to the two-dimensional canvas and built form in both areas of focus. Integrating design and art-making in his daily life is a critical part of his daily life practice along with meditation and Tai Chi.
