Franz Bodner Works

John, with his artist wife Jan Richardson-Baughman share a passion for the outdoors and landscape.  They raise horses and work in their studio on their small farm in Western Michigan.  Since turning full-time to printmaking in 1985, Baughman has worked with virtually everyone in the industry.  Designers had placed more of his art than anyone else’s in the world.  John’s current work incorporates layers of color and wax on paper and canvas.  

An avid trout fisherman, he has always used veils of color reminiscent of water in a stream.  His work is elegant yet strong.  Layers of color and nuance of motion are the background, while division of space with characters and elements of landscape form the frontal plane of his work.  John Baughman’s work has been widely exhibited and included in private and corporate collections worldwide.
