I have always been an artist by nature, and when I retired I found that I could spend more time with my photography and art. I began with digital photography, learned to use a computer to process my pictures and from there began to use programs to edit and enhance my work with digital virtual painting and techniques.

Virtual painting allows me to use many media: oil, pastel, pen and ink, as well as freehand drawing and painting on a touch sensitive tablet to create pictures. There are many ways to create new and unique effects.
Nature has long been my favorite subject. I enjoy photographing covered bridges and landmark buildings plus whimsical composites just for fun.
My work can be seen at Artist in Residence in Enosburg, Vt., Trout River Trading in Montgomery Center, Vt. and at the Memphremagog Arts Collaborative in Newport, Vt. I display also at Wooden Horse Arts Guild shows throughout this Northern Vermont.

I hope you enjoy my work. It is all for YOU! "May the wind be at your back" John Selmer, Sr.
