SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENTS:
Celebrity Portrait
The TLC “Counting On” Show aired tonight revealing my commission portrait of Jinger Vuolo and her beautiful little girl Felicity. What an exciting night! It all started back in September of 2019 when Jeremy Vuolo contacted me and asked if I would paint Jinger for a surprise birthday gift.

I felt very honored at Jeremy’s request and worked hard over many weeks with the help of Jesse Hsu (the photographer) to create the right pose; planning and sketching out the composition, then finally applying the paint to canvas to complete the story of Jinger and Felicity, a mamma’s love for her child.

As a youth, John Mullane intended to become a portrait artist, but instead pursued a career as a drummer. It was during this time that, by chance, he happened upon a book of Robert Bateman’s art. It inspired him and changed his life. In 1992, Mullane submitted what was his first serious attempt at painting wildlife, entitled Baby Jay, and incredibly, his painting was accepted into the prestigious Birds in Art exhibition at The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. Displayed in the same exhibition were paintings by some of his artistic heroes, including Bateman and Carl Brenders.

Artist’s Statement

I have always enjoyed being outdoors; for hikes in local conservation areas, from wilderness adventures such as mountaineering, or canoe tripping. One is reminded that we, as humans, are a part of nature; and can learn from studying the natural world. This is the central theme of my artwork.

An early interest in the work of landscape photographers led me to a realistic style of painting, in acrylics. However, the most important part of painting landscapes, for me, is the symbolism of the elements, and the association one can imagine from the depiction of the scenes. I always hope to suggest “going beyond” the landscape. It is the underlying spirit of nature that ties the landscape together with our human existence.
