John Schooley

John Schooley is pursuing his passion, painting. Following a 30+ year career in the advertising industry working for various graphic art studios and advertising agencies, John chose to focus mainly on his art.

John is a self taught artist, who’s primary medium is watercolor. He works from digital or conventional photographs to create compositions. He strives to capture light, depth, and contrast in his paintings with a method crossing between realism and impressionism.

One of John’s ultimate goals was to acquire his own gallery. This endeavor has now been recognized as he owned a gallery, Cloud 9 Fine Art Gallery & Custom Framing, with his wife, in Tubac, AZ for quite a few years. Owning the gallery became a prosperous adventure and an extremely rewarding accomplishment.

Today, there is no greater reward for John than to see the emotional expressions on a viewer’s face when they connect with one of his paintings. “Concept and color are subjective; what the viewer feels, priceless”.
