John Moilanen
1948 - 2026

We are sad to announce the passing of a great Northwest artist that we have represented since 1995. In addition to creating beautiful art, he was an enthusiastic chronicler of Northwest nautical history.
The Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound and a variety of marine vessels are recurring themes in Moilanen’s oils, sumi paintings, drawings and etchings. His works show elements of realism, impressions and cubism. His inspired use of color makes the mountains, water and ships glimmer with light.
John said of his work:
“My paintings are designed to recast our perception of the present and the past of the Pacific Northwest. They are a true depiction of the static and dynamic forces which are a part of and interact with our environment, a true local tone which reflects our unique local landscape and character. These are careful and calculated paintings, each with its own luminosity, continually challenging the viewer as new rhythms are discovered in the fleeting effects of light and color in nature.”
His work is in public collections of the Washington State Historical Society, The Washington State Arts Commission, the Seattle Arts Commission, Chelan and Grant Counties Utility District collections, Puget Sound Energy corporate collection, Whatcom County Museum of History and Art, The Maryhill Museum of art, and the Nordic Heritage Museum. as well as private collections in the US, Finland, Germany, Cyprus, Mexico and the Netherlands.
