Will St. John

Episode 459 / Will St. John is a painter born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1983. Trained in the techniques of classical realism during his formative years in Italy, Will has since ventured into new territories under the influence of the contemporary New York art scene. His masterful renditions of Drag Queens and Trans models, intertwined with antique porcelain figurines, extend beyond traditional painting. Some portraits find their way into porcelain statues, snuff boxes, and lockets, freezing moments of beauty and authenticity in time. Will has exhibited in the US and abroad at locations such as Cealum Gallery, Spring Break, Arcadia Contemporary and others and he was a resident of the American Academy in Rome in Italy. He currently lives and works in New York City.
