About Me
- John Williams
- Born in Independence Missouri in 1953, Studied painting at the Kansas City Art Institute, Penn Valley Community College, State Fair Community College, and the University of Central Missouri. A lifelong Kansas City Resident until 2003, when I moved my family to the Missouri Ozarks. I am married and have 5 children. In 1975 I hitch hiked to Anchorage Alaska from Kansas City Missouri, a distance of 3,523 miles. Hitch hiking in those days did not carry the stigma it does today, and was a fairly common practice.The Alaskan Highway was not paved as it is today, it was 1,500 miles of gravel and mud. I am believed to be the last climber to climb Mt. St Helens, from base to summit, before the historic eruption on May 18th 1980. I climbed with no climbing experience, and no companions. I entered the restricted Red Zone set up around the mountain, by hiking around the roadblocks. I reached the summit of Mt. St. Helens on April 30th 1980, just after noon.I experienced numerous earthquakes while on the mountain. I photographed the crater, then came home. My adventure is mentioned in Richard Waitt's Book, 'In the Path of Destruction' University of Washington Press 2015.

ReplyDeleteYou have used digital technique to the artistic best. Here the focal point of painting is so well-placed that one would see whole painting at a time.
