On Exhibit in the Deborah O. Horne Gallery

Now Featuring John G Schickler

John worked in Advertising and graphic arts for eleven years before going back to school to become a computer analyst and programmer. He would occasionally indulge in art when time allowed. After thirty years in that field and having moved to the Richmond suburbs, he retired and became serious about photography. He spent more than 20 summers in Nova Scotia, Canada and absorbed two different cultures. He has been a member of the 93 year old camera club of Richmond for over sixteen years and was a member of the image takers Photo Club in Truro, Nova Scotia for a number of years.

Three years ago him and his wife moved from midlothian to South Hill and have never regretted the decision. He loves the small town atmosphere and the new friends. The surrounding historical landmarks are a new favorite of hisand he will seek them out and capture them.

John’s Art-
He as changed from “Taking Pictures” to capturing images of life, our animal friends, and nature. He has created Acrylic paintings, watercolor, pencil, and charcoal works. He also likes to do wood working.

“I hope you will find at least some of my images enjoyable and challenging. May the good lord bless you and open your eyes to a beautiful world. I have always believed that an artist is offering to let you see your world and surroundings through an artist eyes. Everyone sees the world a bit differently, an artist has an obligation not to necessarily create images that match everyone’s view, but to make the viewer think about different ways to see the world”
