NWPP Art in the Lobby Artist Spotlight for May - John C

John is an illustrator and client of NW Pilot Project. Growing up in the Bay Area watching ships in the harbor, John developed a lifelong fascination with machinery and a curiosity for how things are built. Drawing for as long as he can remember, boredom drove an early transition from graphite to colored pen and marker. Inspired by geometry, building materials, and World War II machinery, he has found that drawing helps occupy his busy mind.

John lives with his wife and biggest fan, Donna, in their apartment that doubles as a gallery for his endless creativity. Although he has created art privately for decades, this is the first time he is sharing his work publicly.

It’s a May Day Match and last chance to make your impact go further!
