John Fitzsimmons is a painter, drawer and printmaker who maintains a studio in the Delavan Studio Building in Syracuse NY. He primarily uses the figure as raw material in looking for the “non-verbal narrative” that is the heart of his work. He has exhibited widely in the US and internationally both in group and solo exhibitions and is in many collections both private and public as well as being an alumni of the Arts In Embassies program.
