A collector’s Kind Words
“John makes purchasing very easy and straightforward from start to finish, and he personalizes each package with a handwritten note on the painting and other lovely and unexpected touches.
Every interaction with him is a true pleasure.
Additionally, his blog on the creative process is humble, enlightening and uncommonly generous; every e-mail I receive on a newly completed piece is a little gift.
I am so pleased to have discovered John’s exquisite paintings, and I look forward to adding to my collection of his work in years to come.”
J. Roccuzzo, United States (2014)
