Your Bio
John H Mueller is a Cincinnati native, self-taught artist and photographer. He graduated from Colerain High School in 1972 with concentration in the study of electronics. In the late 1980s, his attention was captured by the computer revolution and he has spent numerous hours discovering what makes a PC tick. Reading technical manuals to John is like reading a novel to anyone else.
In the year 2000, John decided to jump on the digital media train and purchased a 2-mega pixel Hewlett Packard camera. Most of his shots consisted of family, grandchildren and numerous shots of wildlife that visited the lake in the park where he often spent his lunch hour. He learned many tricks visiting message boards and forums via the Internet asking questions and gleaning knowledge from both amateur and professional photographers. As his interest in photography grew, so did the need for more mega pixels. In late 2002, he purchased a Sony F 717with 5 mega pixels and much more versatility. His pursuit of the "perfect photo" soon became a passion.
With the onset of winter, cold weather and snow made it difficult to pursue outdoor photography. By early 2003, John was again in search of another creative outlet. While visiting a local electronics store, he was introduced to the Wacom board. The Wacom uses a pressure sensitive stylus enabling the user to "draw" and then upload the image into a computer. This new method of creating piqued his curiosity and prompted him to purchase a 6 x 8 Wacom board. John admits to having taken only one art class in school and wasnt sure he would be able to draw anything that would interest anyone. He diligently worked night after night learning to use the drawing board and the digital programs supplied with it to enhance the drawings. He forwarded his drawings to artist friends who gave him tips on how to give the drawing more dimension. He coupled the advice with the digital tools available in PhotoShop Elements, Corel Painter and Paintshop 7 to produce drawings from simple flowers to bizarre images in a range of colors and effects to please anyone.
In mid-2003, at the encouragement of family and friends, John decided to make his work public. He has sold some of his photography and drawings to small gift shops in the form of greeting cards that he produces himself under the JH Mueller Digital Artworks and Photography label. When asked what his future interests are, he states that his most passionate interest is to make the illusions he creates seem real.
