Artist Spotlight: John Wise

John Wise will be sharing his paintings at this years Art & Wine walk. Here is a sample of his work and below is his Artist Statement.

Long before I considered painting I had the amazing experience of viewing the land with wonder and awe.  Being raised on a fairly large cattle ranch in northwestern Arizona, I was blessed to see spaces of beauty as though I was the first and only visitor.  I remember feeling so privileged and at a loss to describe the view.

Later, when I worked closely with several Indian tribes, I continued to experience vistas of incredible beauty and mystery and wishing that I could share what I saw,   “wish my friends/family could see this.”

I was lucky enough to develop a talent that, hopefully, will instill a feeling of wanting to be “right there” in my paintings.   Being there was so breathtaking for me.

It’s been said that I have my head in the clouds since I like to include clouds in my landscapes, and I have painted a number of cloudscapes.  I’ve always been fascinated by their form and color. Washington is an excellent place to find them.

Although I paint with acrylics, my goal has always been to make them look as much like oil painting as possible; a pretty difficult task since the quick drying time of acrylics affects the ability to blend colors

I’ve been a Grunbacher/Michel’s art instructor Since May, facilitating fine art acrylic painting classes since May 2010.  I teach at the Silverdale Michael’s and here at 38th street.  We always have a great time and leave feeling confident and inspired by our experience.

I have exhibited my works in a number of shows and competitions including the Western Washington State Fair in Puyallup, The City of Auburn, the Frank Tobey Jones Art Show, and the Lakewold Gardens Art show.  I was invited to present a number of my pieces in an individual art show at the Sidney Art Gallery in Port Orchard.    I have my work exhibited here at the 253 Collective located at 1901 South Jefferson Street in downtown Tacoma.
