John Budicin Artist Bio:

Born in Rovigno, D’Istria, Italy, John moved to California at the age of 11, where he went to college, and continues to live today.   After several years as a commercial artist and freelance illustrator, John Budicin took the opportunity to pursue his dream of becoming a plein air artist when his employer moved out of state.  John loves to paint directly from nature so he paints outdoors almost every day.  John paints many of his paintings close to his home in San Bernardino, California. 

John is not only a dedicated painter but also spends several weeks each year teaching workshops all around the US.  John also taught a workshop in Umbria and Tuscany, Italy. John has also written several articles for art publications.
