John Inserra, Graphics, Illustration and Art

John Inserra has been an illustrator, photographer, product designer and graphic artist since 1989. His artwork has appeared in numerous magazines (most notably Vanity Fair) and books. His pop-art and nature-based designs have been produced on everything from lamps and tableware to cards, posters and textiles. In recent years, he has split his time between New Mexico and the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii and has now made Hawaii his home year round .

“Both the Southwest and the Islands’ powerful landscapes provide inspiration. I spent a lot of time in the mountains in New Mexico skiing in the winter and painting in other seasons. There are similarities in the vastly different landscapes. The volcanic peaks remind me of a sky island system rising from the desert instead of an ocean. I love the small farms, wilderness and slower pace that are part of what make both places so special--that and the multitude of rainbows!”
