John Schaefer, Painter

About the artist
Schaefer paints gourds using traditional images, creating the illusion that they are clay pots. Schaefer purchases dried gourds, and then prepares and paints the surface.
John has developed a mixture of direct sales and wholesale. Interior designers are significant customers, as they purchase his artwork for their clients. John is excellent at utilizing alternative markets to promote and sell his work.
Legal Art Solution
Schaefer has carefully researched the images that he paints on his gourds. He is very careful not to appropriate native American symbols. With legal support from Jaeger, he selected and uses only historic images that are in the public domain. He faithfully represents historic images and explains the style and time periods when the images first appeared.
