Meet and Greet the Artists: John Guernsey

Join us for an evening of community fellowship and refreshments on Aug. 30 as we welcome Artist John Guernsey to the Pike Road Arts Center! Stop by from 5 - 7 p.m. to enjoy each other's company and view his available art!

After moving from California to Georgia, John Guernsey embarked on his full-time art career in 2006. John paints primarily ‘en plein air,’ but has recently moved to creating larger studio paintings as time permits. John is a master of painting atmosphere and light and takes his inspiration from nature, city life and architecture; everywhere he can find the play of light and shadows. John is a nationally-ranked artist, and he was recently awarded Best of Show at Olmsted Park, Georgia and at Los Gatos, CA in 2019. John is a high-demand instructor who travels throughout the Southeast providing workshops, as well as participating in a variety of plein air festivals like the Pike Road Arts Council's annual Paint Out.

The Pike Road Arts Center is located at 944 Wallahatchie Rd, under the water tower. It is home to the Water House Gallery, studio space, and a variety of events presented by the Pike Road Arts Council, an ENHANCE initiative committee.
