JOHN AXTON

John Axton was born and raised in Illinois. He never took an art class until his senior year in high school but an army test proved he had ability and aptitude to continue with this interest of his. After a two year commercial art course, John took jobs -first as a billboard painter and later in the design department of Mobil Corporation. After a stint as a staff artist at the Illinois State Museum, John and his family moved west, lured by photographs out of Arizona Highways Magazine. John worked as a commercial artist in Denver before moving to the Southwest in 1979 to pursue painting and lithography full time.

Axton draws his images from the area he loves the buffalo, a precise adobe Pueblo and the mountains rising over the endless desert. He described himself as a minimalist, working simply to create images that allow the viewer to be drawn in by his stark visions and unique perspectives.
