Thanks for taking the time to visit my web site. I hope you enjoy the information here and that it will be of value when choosing our art to enjoy in your business or home. Please note that all paintings are from personal experiences and have been painted as sets or as ongoing groups to become a collection when ever possible. I hope you enjoy each story of my creativity and my rendering of it. About Jerry giclee giclees
 

John P. Kruse is from Mankato, MN. He learned to paint by reading books and learning from others, but most importantly by observing nature and trying to duplicate it. "I've always had a love for the natural world, particularly birds." giclee giclee

John has been an avid bird watcher since his early days when his grandfather, who managed a wildlife refuge, would take him out and show him the different kinds of wildlife. "It really taught me how to be very observant. And the more I observe the more I want to make an attempt at creating at least the image of something so grand." John has been here at Schaefer Studios since 2005. giclee giclee
