He has written for Raw Vision, Intuit’s Outsider, Folk Art Messenger, Missouri Historical Society Gateway, The Design Observer, and ENVISION. Additionally, John has been at the forefront of discovering important self-taught artists of the 20th century—namely “The Electric Pencil,” later identified as Edward Deeds. In 2019, John discovered a long-lost sculpture by William Edmondson (1875-1951), a self-taught sculptor who, in 1937, was the first African American artist to be given a solo exhibition at MoMA.He holds an MFA in painting from Washington University in St. Louis.
