John Knell

A maverick creative professional, conscientious rebel, father, husband, friend and servant to others.

Good vibes only.

My adventure began in the late sixties in Carthage, MO. I grew up in a white house, on a quiet street, with a Funeral Director Father, a stay at home Mother, a miniature dachshund named Hugo and 2 large trees in the front yard.

I discovered a love for the arts at a very early age and spent many hours during my youth at the drawing board…armed with pencils, pens, markers, paper and imagination.

A deep passion for the act of creativity and story-telling was fostered in me during those years and it was from those innocent beginnings that my work has progressed into a life long career calling of creativity and artistic exploration.

I create in many mediums and feel my work is a unique combination of documented beauty, human connection and abundant joy.

I am always creating and looking for new and inventive ways to express myself through my work. It is my hope that both my art and creative journey can be of service to you.
