John’s Artist Statement
My real passion is to capture the beauty of nature through the eye of my camera. A native New Englander, my inspiration primarily comes from photographing New England landscapes. I try to capture the uniqueness each season brings along with the magic light that exists. I love capturing the beauty of the coastline. I particularly enjoy photographing during the golden hours of sunrise and sunset and also am drawn to images where nature and man made elements meet. Photography for me is all about capturing a moment in time which may never be repeated. I spend a good amount of time driving on backroads or hiking to secluded places to capture the beauty of nature. My photographs have been published in the Photographer’s Forum Magazine, Cape Ann Magazine (including three cover photos), Lowell Sun and Gloucester Times. I am a juried member of  Gallery 53 on Rocky Neck, Rockport Art Association, and Newburyport Art Association where my work can be viewed along with the Depot Diner in Beverly and Cape Ann Coffee in Gloucester. I can make matted/framed photos in a variety of sizes or as framed canvas, metal or glass photos.

As we continue to endure the financial challenges of the pandemic, Arts

Abound believes it is more important than ever to buy local. Below are some

gift suggestions – for an upcoming birthday or anniversary perhaps, or yourself!

Stop in and see what other treasures we have, or set up an appointment to do

Joyful Sunflowers – Sue Wheeler, mixed media

Gloucester-made Ryan & Wood hand sanitizer, paired with a hand-sewn

mask or two, makes an ideal gift. Ryan & Wood is a local distillery that

has temporarily converted their production to hand sanitizer to help folks stay

safe during the pandemic. $40 as shown here with mask.

Donna’s beach towels featuring local images have been a huge hit! At $30 each, they are soft and beautiful.

Our wonderful lobster prints, created by Martha (Landfall Gallery), are

perfect for celebrating summer! Available in several different sizes; framed

and unframed.

Ceramic artist Jenny has a wonderful selection of pottery, including these

stunning bowls!

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED!Ann’s beautiful seagrass jewelry makes a fabulous gift!

 Arts Abound continues to sell many masks! We recently developed a new

style of mask that includes a pocket for a filter. You can use a coffee filter or

a vacuum bag filter, to name a couple of options. We also have way cool

summer fabrics as seen above. And our nose piece has been improved. The

traditional style face mask is still available.
