John Morey is a fine-art nature photography artist and story-teller, making Arizona his beloved homeland since 1980. Discovering inspiration creating his compositions in the remote back-country of our national parks, monuments, forests, and wilderness areas, John explores uncommon artistic views of iconic landscape and wildlife scenes, with concepts of duality – both epic and small. Recently, his focus is creating a conduit between the viewer and the 'Spirit' of Nature, promoting realizations of contemplation and self-discovery.

Enjoying it for 30 years, with periods studying composition-theory and performing dark-room assignments, he never considered it an artistic future – it just took time to realize.

Returning to pursue photography in earnest, his artistic direction culminated into three legs of work: Monumental Icons Inspiration; Nature's Timeless Tones in Monochrome; and Realizations of Contemplation & Self-Discovery.
John caters to collectors and arbiters of taste wishing to display natural fine-art in their homes and businesses. His artworks are produced on fine-art papers and canvases, ChromaLuxe® brushed metal panels, and luxurious displays using Lumachrome® Trulife® acrylic glass. Offerings vary from print-on-demand open-edition reproductions, to uniquely-signed, titled, and numbered limited-edition and artist's proofs collectibles. Fine-art leasing also available.
