The Sikeston Depot Museum Presents: Artist John Jacob's Woodcarvings
November 10, 2015 - December 30, 2015
Wood sculpture artist, John Jacob, was born in northern Indiana. He graduated from Purdue University with a degree in pharmacy and owned and operated his own pharmacy for many years. He retired with his wife, Rose, to a home on Kentucky Lake, and for the next twenty-five plus years they were avid boaters, traveling thousands of miles on the Ohio, Mississippi, Cumberland, and Tennessee Rivers in their boat appropriately named "PRN".
The beautiful, different woods available in the area as well as woods from Asia, South America, and Africa inspired John to create fascinating wood turnings and lovely furniture. Cherry, walnut, oak, dogwood, maple, exotic woods of the world are brought to a distinctive visual charm with his ingenuity and skill.
Many of his pieces have won top awards in art shows and his furniture adorns area churches and many homes in the Midwest.
John works part-time as a pharmacist and continues to spend many hours in his studio creating wonderful works for all to enjoy.
