About the Artist

John R. Kirkland - Artist/ Illustrator

Retired Sign Shop Owner living in Asotin, Washington

Working in a sign shop requires a variety of skills. It all started out many years ago with paint and brush, in the days before computers. I painted everything from mailboxes to billboard signs. It's been a great job for thirty years and still make some signs on occasion - mostly custom /decorative types. These past few years have given me time to work on the fine arts and now concentrate mostly on watercolor - the magic medium.
