A child prodigy in the world of art, John MacArthur began his journey with a brush in hand at the tender age of four. By the time he was six, he was already experimenting with natural objects to create pigments. His talent was evident early on, as one of his first portraits as a young teen caught the eye of none other than President Kennedy. Before he even reached his twenties, he had established himself as one of the famous "Artist of Jackson Square" in New Orleans. However, like many child prodigies, he disappeared from the art scene for nearly 25 years.
After a long hiatus, John MacArthur reemerged in the early 90's, once again painting and selling his artwork. His talent was quickly recognized, with the Governor of Maryland's wife adding one of his paintings to her collection. From there, he went on to create promotional artwork for prestigious events such as the 2002 and 2003 Preakness Stakes. His commercial work for various businesses like the Marriot Corporation, America On Line (AOL), and more, solidified his reputation as a sought-after artist.
With the establishment of MacArthur Studio, John MacArthur entered a new chapter in his artistic journey. His studio, now based in Rockville, Maryland, has become a hub for his award-winning artwork. Over the past decade, he has garnered over 20 first place ribbons in various art shows, showcasing the quality and talent behind each piece. His recent travels to Europe have reignited his passion for creating, infusing his work with a new zeal and energy.
As John MacArthur continues to create and exhibit his artwork, the world is once again taking notice of his exceptional talent. With an impressive collection of first place ribbons under his belt, his prints are perfect for decorating both homes and offices alike.
