“To me, the magic in a painting is found in what was omitted. To engage the viewers, to let them participate, and find their own story in the artist’s story.”

“Through my art, I hope to inspire people to seek a deeper understanding of the world around us and bring together groups of individuals to unite on common ground. Now more than ever our natural world is severely threatened and, with this increased pressure, a new paradigm must emerge. Conservationists, sportsmen and environmentalists must join forces in areas of overlapping interests and consider bridges to overcome these important issues.” John Banovich.
“Art can move, reveal and inspire us to seek a deeper understanding of the world around us.” John Banovich
