John Malarkey

Living in the Pacific Northwest in Portland, Oregon. I like painting landscapes, people and still-lifes. Longtime admirer of French, Spanish and California impressionists, and 19th-century American landscape painters. Art found me in recent years and I went to art school after a career in communications. I'm part of a studio in an old warehouse full of creative folks by the downtown river, where I develop my ideas into paintings. Probably the best part of being an artist is the human connection I get from meeting buyers (online or in person). People who see in my art the same things I do. I love that, it's always exhilarating.
