John Koch
 |
Growing up in a hunting and fishing family in west-central Wisconsin,
Koch experimented with a multitude of different media under the
encouragement and tutelage of both his sister and high school art
teacher. After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, Koch attended the
University of Wisconsin, River Falls, where he earned a Bachelor of
Science degree in Art and Journalism. Following two decades of working in the creative departments of Cenex/Land 'o' Lakes and 3M Co., Koch started producing his sporting-orientated woodcuts and photography under the auspices of his Trout Lily Studios in 2003. Since then, Koch's work has been sought by a growing list of collectors around the world. John's work has a very unique feel about it. He couples the touch of a careful craftsman with a rare ability to refine a visual idea down to what is truly essential. The results are timeless, strikingly simple graphic abstractions that speak about the artist, his work and his world in a very articulate way. Koch continues to live in west-central Wisconsin with his wife and two children. |
