John Swan

John Swan (Born 1948) is active/lives in Maine.  John Swan is known for Sporting art painting-hunting and fishing.

The competition that artist John Swan seeks out doesn't require a panel of judges.  Although he has won prestigious prizes such as the Ducks Unlimited International Artist of the Year award in 1987 and the Atlantic Salmon Federation Artist of the Year three times, Swan has entered his work in few judged exhibitions.  He prefers contests on streams or sea as an avid fly fisherman. He then paints his experience with the passion of a true sportsman.

One of America's prominent sporting and wildlife artists, Swan is equally adept in watercolor and oils.  His paintings bring to life fishing and hunting trips to places as far afield as the bonefishing mecca of The Bahamas and Canada's Gaspe Peninsula, also a favorite sporting haunt of renowned impressionist Frank W. Benson (1862-1951).  "I paint wherever I can fish," he admits.  The result is spectacularly immediate works set in the world's premier sporting destinations.
