Currently featured at ART on FIRST are nature inspired paintings by John Palombo. With just enough challenges growing up to gain some deep colors and spectrums in his life, John has made use of the follies and torture of being human and turned them into joy and happiness by finding something that truly speaks to his soul – visiting remote natural areas and painting.

John loves color and creating color. His focus has always been on landscapes of Southern Oregon, particularly Southeastern Oregon. When creating a composition, John’s interest is to translate the magic that he sees in the world and in nature onto his surface. With this, he hopes to inspire his viewers to find the same magic, or something that is personal to just them.
