John’s artwork “Confluence: Yukon and Tatonduk” was chosen as the 2025 KUAC poster.
Like most of his art, “Confluence: Yukon and Tatonduk” was started on-site during John’s travels in the field, necessitating simple, durable, and compact materials. His current medium of choice is wax pastel on a pad of textured watercolor paper that is bonded on the sides to create a “block.” On a beautiful ridge overlooking the two rivers, John settled on a subject and roughed-in the piece.
“The Fall colors were right at their peak, and that’s a very brief phenomenon in the North,” John said. “In a way, it’s like the confluence between Summer and Winter: these vivid colors flare up just before months of black and white set in.”
John is honored to participate as the 2025 KUAC poster artist. John and Lisa have been dedicated to watching, listening to, and supporting KUAC for decades.
