John Snyder: United States; Art is about having an experience of the senses and emotions. Maine artist, John Snyder, continuously strives to open up those experiences in his work. Born in 1965 and having lived and grown in different parts of the United States, John settled on an art career in his mid-twenties. Though he took art classes at the College of Visual Arts in Saint Paul, Minnesota and Heartwood College of Art in Kennebunk, Maine, he is largely self taught. The book "The Natural Way to Draw", by Kimon Nicolaides, played a major role in the development of John Snyder's approach to drawing. The energy of his work reflects years of practice and a sincere dedication to the imagination.
