"My camera is my paintbrush. It is the tool that paints the scene. My computer contains my paints - I use them to set the tone, the color, the contrast, and the mood of my art."

The experience of serenity, far to rare in our lives, finds a voice in John's work. Simple scenes captured in soft light lay the foundation. John further refines these moments to express how it felt to be at that place at that time. Particularly attracted to water, in all of its forms, John is frequently found at water's edge in early morning light, creating memories of moments of serene beauty. John shows his award winning photography at juried art shows throughout the midwest and online at https://jfweller.com.

In addition to his own work, John leads workshops in Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop. He chaired the board of directors at the Artist Lounge from 2014 to 2018. John currently serves as the Art Director for the Vinoklet Art and Wine Festival.

John lives in Cincinnati, Ohio with his wife Lisa. He has five children, all (thankfully), grown and living on their own. He has five grandchildren; who he loves to spoil and then give back to their parents.
