John Fawcett is a veterinarian who has been painting professionally since 1992. His first hand knowledge of horses and dogs is evident in his detailed watercolors which portray cowboys and the animals in their lives. "I want to make the viewer smell the horse, hear the hoofbeats, have all their senses be taken in by the painting."

1996 was a year of transition for John who shifted gears from full time Veterinarian / part time artist to full time artist. He sold his veterinary practice of seventeen years in Pennsylvania and he and his wife Elizabeth now have a log home and studio in Northern Colorado where they have been living with their dogs and quarter horses.

In addition to the Buffalo Bill Art Show, John has been invited to show his watercolors at the Rocky Mountain Oyster Club Show in Tucson and The Coors Western Art Show.
