John Dickey

I am an American abstract artist living in Medway, Maine. My paintings are driven by intuition, layering, and experimentation, guided by the belief that a work of art should be experienced before it is explained. I combine acrylic paint with mixed media like plaster, graphite, charcoal, and natural earth to build surfaces rich with texture and emotion. Music is central to my process, shaping the rhythm and energy of each piece. Rather than telling viewers what to see, I invite them to discover their own meaning and emotional connection through layered surfaces, texture, and bold color shifts.
