Born in 1948 in Washington D.C., John Comer, rose to fame as one of the most acclaimed figures in the genre of Californian landscape painting. His cityscapes and landscapes capture the nuances of light, mood and nature. I try to paint these elements that are in motion.
Painting is about movement and action and the patterns of water and weather.
In essence, his artworks captivate audiences with a uniqueness that defines a purely California experience. It was in 1953 that John Comer moved to Southern California. He attended Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa where he studied painting and printmaking, etching, serigraphy and drawing. He continued his education in painting at Santa Barbara City College in 1968. After many years of success as an artist, Comer collaborated with Julian Ritter at Ritter's Studio in Maui, Hawaii.
