John is a hopeful preeminent illustrator and author whose professional career began back in 1994 after his first published work. Since then, he's explored different writing genres and is working to create a following who await his latest releases. With numerous projects and awards to his name, he continues to push literary boundaries in ecology in exposing young minds to the wonders of the natural world in the hopes it remains wondrous for generations to come.  ​

John's career as a public environmental science educator, anthropologist, archivist, exhibition designer, developer, artist, illustrator and writer spans over thirty years. He has designed over 180 temporary and national award-winning traveling exhibits and a few dozen picture books and coffee table books for other artist. He has paintings, graphics and exhibitions around the world from Kuala Lumpur to South America and from India to Europe, recently producing the traveling exhibition Wicked Plants, based on the work of author Amy Stewart, which even toured Vegas a few times.

His last works included the production of an exhibition on Mastodons and even an exhibit on Zombies from the TV show Z Nation. He is currently looking for representation and a publisher for all works. 

 When he’s not writing or illustrating, he’s assisting low-income families in his county with repairing their housing so he can have health benefits, while using his limited free time to write and illustrate and to look for opportunities to connect with readers to further his mission of promoting environmental awareness through science literature.

Please help support John and this mission!
