About me
My name is John Squire and am 64 yrs. old, have 2 grown children and have worn many hats through-out my career .
I have College degrees in Forestry and Landscape Architecture although my Passion has always been in Art.
In 1984 I started Durango Rivertrippers in Durango, Colorado. After selling my River Outfitter business a few years ago, it was time to reinvent myself and become a full time Artist. I am an accomplished Landscape Painter and Illustrator and Sign Painter. I have been invited to show my Paintings at Gallery's and different venues and have received several award including Best of Show. I am proficient in all mediums including Oil Paints, Acrylics, Pencil, Markers and Water Colors.
I have continued pursuing Art through out my life, but it never quite paid the bills. Now that the Children are out of the house I have more time to work on my artwork.
Most recently I have worked for 3 years being an Illustrator for Basmati, an online Sustainable Living publication focusing on Healthy Living, Organic Gardening, Yoga, Astrology and lessening ones carbon footprint on the Planet. I created images to be inserted and accompany the articles published, using several different mediums.
I would be very interested in working with you on your Children's Book,s its right up my alley and I know I can create images you will be proud of.
Thanks,
John
