John Hofland lives with his wife Joyce in a house surrounded by flowers, fruits trees, berries, vegetables and medicinal herbs in eastern Washington state. He divides his work between creating art, gardening, and making herbal remedies. For fun, he enjoys finding new hiking trails in the nearby woods, kayaking, and – most of all – entertaining grandchildren, daughters, and their families. He has worked as a theatre artist and teacher across the United States, and well as in Canada, Ukraine, Poland, and Thailand, and is an accomplished iconographer.
