John Mcgrath

Born in NY upstate. I am a self taught Artist and the medium I use is Pen & Ink. I only use a single size nib (#102) to achieve the greatest detail. All my works are original and not prints. I do not do prints as the loss of the detail. I entwine laughter with the beauty of upstate NY as well as in the commissions I am happy to do. Not only of landscapes but of indivuals Homes camp's etc. Due to the details I strive to bring the viewer back over and over discovering hidden details in my work and the smile I hope they get. Thru my work I hope the beauty of nature is seen by all. Most work is from my mind with the reality of the beauty I live among. I am a Biker and a Artist or at least I am told that the first is indeed a fact the second is for the ones viewing my work to decide.

(Being re-done)

I am self taught. I have had no formal art training as to the simplicity of my style but also the detail thru the single fine #102 nib I use. The time in each piece can be as little as 20 hours to 350 hours. I have had my work in galleries throughout the east coast in New York State, Florida, Kentucky and Wash. D.C.,
