Hello, buon giorno -Will post updated info soon and begin to add more work- grazie tor visiting- john rossi

Pretty much 'the street'; learned so much bartending and waiting on tables/raising children (haha)... BA/BFA/BFA's from Ohio State ('68-'77)', art history, philosophy, studio art, Intaglio, painting, sculpture and performance. MFA from Ohio University in 1980- painting, installation, intaglio, and performance. Curated an outdoor ten artist show in spring 1981. Honorary MBA by consensus based on business experience in 1992. I write every day. Writing is very, very hard...LOL....as is stand-up!

I have been exhibiting since 1975- so many shows- all squeezed into a bizarre business life and raising children (many). Am in many private collections. Appeared in a Basel private gallery in 2011 which was cool but too off the beaten path from the actual event- gotta go to Basel! Graydon Carter of Vanity Fair accepted a 4' X 8' homage piece I executed for the magazine in 2013. Have some short but interesting vids at YouTube...plus work at Google and FB. I have not done much marketing since 2013 but had my own gallery/studio here from 2007/2013. FIGURATIVE ART and WORDS are my primary mediums right now. Am hoping one of my kids will take the bull by the horn and start curating- so to speak. Actually, the YouTube vids are cute...
