In 1997 John was commissioned to paint AFTERNOON AT ECHO AMPHITHEATER for the college. This 60 by 48 inch painting now hangs permanently in the foyer of the Henderson building.

In September of 1999 John was invited to join 14 other nationally known landscape artists to paint the interior of the Grand Canyon. The artists spent eight days rafting through the Grand Canyon, painting the unique vision of the Canyon from the bottom up. Sponsored by the Grand Canyon Trust, the purpose of the trip was to increase awareness of the fragile environment of the Grand Canyon. A show of the paintings produced during the trip was held at the Forbes Galleries in New York and San Francisco, the proceeds benefitting the Grand Canyon Trust.

| 教育程度与个人自传 |
John did not formally study art in school, but concentrated on math and physics. He attended Texas A&M University and Rice University, where he earned his Ph.D. in physics in 1981. But his first love was always painting, and in 1982 he left his position as a geophysicist with an oil company to pursue art full time.
