John Domont

A life-long artist, John Domont creates extraordinary artwork. He is inspired by color and form, composition and light to create a window of experience for the viewer. John is inspired by the three forms of light … the light of nature, the light on the surface of the painting and the light of inspiration.

He continues to pursue his passion of painting and the desire to share his artwork with the world.
