Jack held a lifelong interest in Art using it in various capacities as time and opportunity might permit. After his working career, Jack chose to pursue Art at a higher level. Favoring realism in his artwork, John uses either pastels or acrylics.

​

A common aim of Jack's work is the creation of a mood or atmosphere in his mind that can resonate with the viewer as they choose to interpret their response.

​

As Jack moved in his development as an artist from his beginnings with acrylics to his current preference of pastels, he feels fortunate to have studied under professionals such as:

​

• Ann Brennan and Pat DeVirgilis at Greater Norristown Art League

• Teresa DeSeve and Doug Tweddale at The Wayne Art Center

• Frank Short at Montgomerey County Community College
