As one reviewer stated, "John Bunker's work seduces and beckons our attention. The subject of his paintings are...simmering with energy, saturated with color and wonderfully alive. Flowers dance and soar through the vibrant paintings in rich, deep colors."



Artist Statement

Art for me is a rejuvenating, regenerative and spiritual process, a testament to the vitality of our world and our place in it.   While striving to create a variety of dynamic, inventive, and unique paintings, I often return to the beauty and study of flora and fauna in the natural world.  The act of producing art, and other’s engagement with it can lead, in my opinion, toward  the spiritual. This is true for both the creator, and then the viewer who brings one’s own experiences and responses.

To be properly expressed a thing must proceed from within, moved by its form.
