Materials and Techniques: I work across parallel tracks. The foundation is straight photography — medium format, intentional post-processing, printed on fine art paper and textured metal. From there, I build outward.
My mixed media originals start as pigment prints on archival paper, then I hand-finish them with acrylic, soft pastel, and colored pencil — each one is unique and never reproduced. My Imagination Transfers begin as photographs I transfer onto painted panel grounds using a chemical process, then finish by hand with acrylic and interference media — the photograph becomes the foundation, and the hand finishes it.
Every piece carries something from me.
John Picard is a fine art photographer and mixed media artist. His work has been recognized through juried awards, gallery exhibitions, and curatorial selection. He has been composing his whole life. That long practice shapes how he sees — composition, light, and timing as instincts rather than decisions. He works across parallel tracks. The foundation is straight photography — medium format, intentional post-processing, printed on fine art paper and textured metal. From there he builds outward into mixed media originals on archival paper and image transfers on panel, finishing each by hand. The image is the foundation; the hand is the finish.
