Artist John Rowe
John
received his training at Art Center College of Design and began his career as
an illustrator. His paintings have appeared on movie posters, books,
billboards, magazines and advertisements throughout the country and around the
world. Seeking an additional outlet for his creative vision, John began his
Horse Series, bringing together equine beauty and power with emotions of the
human spirit. When the publishers of Walter Farley's The Black Stallion saw
John's work, they were inspired to re-issue this classic series, commissioning
24 new paintings by John for the covers. He has also been part of the rerelease
of the books of Marguerite Henry. He is also responsible for some wonderful
finished movie posters, including for the movie "Miracle". "My
artwork is meant to recall the beauty, majesty and mystery of the life we live,
and the world we live it in. Painting the small delicacy of the light on a
child's face, or the overwhelming power and grace of the sky at sunrise, is my
attempt to capture some of that wonder. Through my work I hope to remind you
and myself how truly wonderful, complex, and vivid life is. Whether we are
looking into the eyes of someone we love, or struggling just to breath, life is
a priceless gift." John has maintained a successful painting career for
nearly 20 years. His studio is in La Canada California, where he lived with his
wife and two children. He received his art training at Art Center College of
Design, and has worked with clients throughout the United States and around the
world. His limited editions of interpretive Disney art are some of the fastest
selling images at Disney World and Disneyland.
