John Gannam, illustrator, painter, watercolor specialist, engraver was born in the country of Lebanon in 1897. He spent his early years in Chicago, and at the age of fourteen when his father died, he was forced to leave school to work and became the sole source of income for his family. One of his early lines of work was as a messenger boy in an engraving studio where he first began his artistic training. After a few years of closely observing artists at work he taught himself to be an artist "like the men who did layouts, lettering, drawings for engravings." He reached his goal when in 1926 he moved to Detroit for four years where he worked in an art studio. He went to New York in 1930 and quickly found employment at Woman's Home Companion and later Cosmopolitan and Ladies' Home Journal. His illustrations were in high demand and were dome almost exclusively in watercolor, although he was known to work in other mediums. With these commissions in hand other magazines soon recognized his work and he became sought after as an illustrator. Some of his noteworthy illustrations include campaigns of: Pacific Mills, Ipana and St. Mary's Blankets. Gannam was an artist's artist and was as immensely popular "to his fellow illustrators" as he was with the public. He was known as a perfectionist and 

a craftsman who did a great number of studies of his subjects "on-the-spot." Gannam was also known as a "lifelong student of the effects of light and color." When he would come across a particular challenge in a work creating a certain effect, he would work endlessly to solve the problem. Often he would work for months mastering it until finally solved and then he would go on to the next challenge. These lessons helped him become a master of the subtleties of light and its effect on the environment around him. His watercolors demonstrate a sense of spontaneity that one only gets from achieving mastery over this most difficult of mediums. He was "little concerned with details or with corrections which could be made later, if needed, in opaque." He worked most of his life from his studio located on West 67th street, although during the last years of his life, he worked as an illustrator and lived in Newtown, Connecticut. He exhibited his watercolors regularly and was elected an Associate of the National Academy of Design. Member of the American watercolor Society; Artists Professional League; Society of Illustrators; Board of Directors, Danbury Academy of Arts; he was a life member of the Illustrators Hall of Fame and others

My artistic effort in digital painting was founded its origin in the oil painting, where I was passionately focusing my energy for several years.

Skilfully, she elaborates her ‘Beautiful’, the passion appears under the affectionate glance. At the same moment unsuspicious and the baroque, they pose rulers, delicately hemmed in the blazing case of their rich suits. Wrapped up, headed, We imagine them on a morning quay, surrounded with suitcases, travelers of the Express East… At the time of the tea, made languid on the sofa, the cheeks pinked to have run the campaign, they tilt slowly the head, lend to récevoir the confidences… But and invited this evening in some castle of the Scotland, they intrigue more than ever, adorned with velvet scarlet, the bare shoulder, the crazy buckle and slide you a rested glance which underlines a smile certainly too wise. How do not to dream to reach their luxurious and peaceful universe and of all know them, these generous and mischievous, frivolous and so fragile, sublimated heroines of past.
