The Artist

My name is John O’Hearn
and I am the artist behind
BallMosaics.com. I am a
full-time artist that lives and
plays in Traverse City, MI.
I received my Bachelor’s
of Fine Arts with an
emphasis in Sculpture &
Functional Art at Kendall
College of Art & Design in
Grand Rapids, Michigan. I then moved on to the Master’s Sculpture program at the University of Florida (Go Gators!). I have won numerous art awards and scholarships over the years my most recent being a top 25 finish at the 2010 ArtPrize (out of 1,700 artists). My work is in public and private collections all across the country. In addition to making art, I live an active life with my wife Erica and our 2 dogs. We enjoy running, tennis, biking, golf, ice hockey, XC skiing, snowboarding - pretty much anything that gets us outdoors.
