Jack was inspired by Hans
Hoffman, Jackson Pollock and
Van Gogh, among others. “I
express my thoughts and
feelings through color,” Morris
said. His art is wild. It’s full of
emotion and spirit. Morris wants
and expects a hands-on
experience with his art. He
invites people to touch his
paintings.
The talented artist has won
awards for his unique work, and
has also gained some attention
from local media. He was proud
to be honored as the Northeast
Valley Artist of the Month in 2001.
Jack’s work is featured in
countless corporate and private
collections throughout the
United States.
John H. Morris, Jr. is a resident of Fountain Hills, Arizona. He decided that he
wanted to paint when he was in 10th grade, and through the years his passion
for art has continued to grow. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree at the

study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he earned a Masters of Fine
Arts, majoring in Painting.
During and after college he taught at several schools, including his alma maters,
as well as the University of Colorado, the University of Wisconsin Marshfield,

Morris, known by friends and family as “Jack,”
has been invited to exhibit his work at many
shows in Wisconsin, Colorado, Missouri, Illinois
and Ohio among other places. He has
participated in many Invitational Shows,
including the Tri-International Invitational (USA,
Italy and Japan) in Numazu City, Japan. He has
also done one man shows and group shows
including recently at the Fountain Hills Arts
Council in Arizona.
This artist is truly passionate about his work. His
paintings take on a sort of “sculpture feel” and
he has tried using all different kinds of media in
his work including chicken wire, twine, neon
lights, pine cones, lace curtains, canvas and
sticks. “Anything I can get my hands on,” he
said. It’s all about texture. Jack also enjoys
doing commission paintings.
