December's Featured Artist

John Cielukowski

I enjoy painting vintage amusement park scenes, farm animals, domestic and feral felines and industrial landscapes. I focus on farm animals to convey the message that farm animals have the same depth of emotion and suffer just like our domesticated companion animals do.

I donate my original works to local organizations such as the Save The Manatee Club, The Brevard Achievement Center, The Space Coast Feline Network and the Humane Society of Central Brevard, for their fundraising efforts. I also donate to national animal welfare groups like Farm Sanctuary, for their fundraisers and silent auctions.

I received my BA in Fine Arts from Montclair University in New Jersey. I also studied at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) and The Art Students League in New York City.

I am an active member of the Central Brevard Art Association, and am involved in their “Art in Public Spaces” program.
