John is a Painter who was a Pipe Maker; a combination he found synergy and balance in. He paints landscapes in oil and acrylic, and until some problems with his hands and wrists, sculpted in various materials including stone, metal, and wood. | |||
John considered his pipe making as a blend of sculpture and painting. He drew on his sense of design to create pipes that were beautiful, functional, and felt great in the hand. His painting background gave him a sense of color and contrast that allowed him to finish his pipes in ways that brought out the natural beauty inherent in the briar. | John considered his pipe making as a blend of sculpture and painting.
