John Bishop

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, I moved west as a librarian before striking out and living abroad for 16 years. I have always been involved with art, whether oil painting, sketching, photography, watercolor, sculpture, creative writing or now abstract painting and illustration. After living in California, Romania, The Emirates, New Zealand, and Russia, I came back to Houston to help Mom and Dad as they grew older. My spouse and I keep a studio at Sawyer Yards in Houston, and we're having the time of our lives.

I graduated with a BA in Spanish and Philosophy from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, and a Master's degree in Library and Information Science from the University of Texas at Austin.
