Vanover Gallery & Me

Gallery Show - "Final Thoughts: Eternal Beauty in Stone" - Vanover Gallery, Springville, New York - October 6, 2012 - November 3, 2012. It's where I belong and want to be...galleries. My hope is to expand on the recognition factor enough for me to obtain numerous openings across the Country, and around the World. My focus this year is just that. If you care...share:) Let your local galleries and museums know that I exist, and that they should present a show of my work. I would be most appreciative. Thank you so much everyone for all your love and support. John

The new FaceBook and continued issues

Lisa here, I don't like the new Timeline layout, I think it is very unorganized. That's the least of it though after reading this article. Beware of your privacy even more now. You need to read this and pass it on. I found this link which explains how to protect your privacy with the new Timeline since everything that you have ever posted from day one can be pulled back up. Also they caution how much personal information that you share...

CemVid04 by John Thomas Grant

My art with the music from the Last Samurai by Hans Zimmer. Ah....not for sale. Anyway, this was one of the first I created to support my work, and enhance their inherent beauty and uniqueness. A number of the pieces have never been scene, and all of them are pretty raw...very little processing. Thanks.

A review of Final Thoughts.

Something I came across in my travels this morn. A review from the Wisconsin Bookwatch - Final Thoughts: Eternal Beauty in Stone by John Thomas Grant. 

"Death plagues us with its uncertainty. "Final Thoughts: Eternal Beauty in Stone" is collection of photography and proverb as John Thomas Grant uses artistic photography to capture various pieces of art and dedication all throughout. In full color, he presents photography that captures a certain bit of soul, with a touch of wisdom to go along with it. "Final Thoughts" is a choice and excellent pick for anyone who is seeking a coffee table book that brings a serenity and thought to the issue of death, highly recommended."
