John Norman Stewart

Born 1940 - San Bernardino, CA - California artist using watermedia, oil, acrylics, metals, and experimental materials. I have the distinction of being the oldest living emerging artist in existance. (grin) Regarding my work: each art piece seems to take on its own life and direction. Its an adventure to see it happen, despite my own planning. Then exploration of the art pieces style happens and that is the most exciting part of the process. My diversity has been both a blessing and a curse, but it has kept me from dieing a slow stylistic death. Of course, having the mindset of a six-year-old helps too..
