BIOGRAPHY

John Sanchez was born in Passaic, NJ and grew up in the blue-collar town of North Bergen. His upbringing is the origin of the working-class attitude he brings to his work. He blends traditional painting techniques with a photographic sensibility, creating a portrait of those seemingly unremarkable moments that urge to be contemplated in all their reality. Sanchez is a graduate of Miami International University of Art & Design, and holds an MFA from Florida International University. His work has caught the attention of collectors including Debra and Dennis Scholl, Bill Bilowit and Grela Orihuela. He is also in the collection of the Frost Art Museum at FIU. He lives and works in South Florida.
