ARTWORK

John L.E. Boardman was a man of many talents. While he was primarily known for his mid-century designed homes, which had become iconic in their own right, his creativity extended far beyond the realm of architecture. John was an avid artist, constantly in search of new ways to express himself through various mediums.

Those who knew John referred to him as a “renaissance man”, a title he had earned through his tireless pursuit of creative endeavors. When he was not designing homes, John could often be found in his studio, surrounded by paints, brushes, and canvases. His passion for art was all-consuming, and he was always experimenting with new techniques and styles.

In addition to painting and rug making, John was also an accomplished sketch artist. One of which was submitted to and consequently selected for the logo of the International Women’s Conference. He had a keen eye for detail and was able to capture the essence of his subjects with just a few lines. His sketches were often the starting point for his larger works, providing a glimpse into his creative process.

Despite his success as an architect, John never lost sight of his passion for art. He continued to create and explore new mediums until the end of his life. His legacy lives on through his iconic homes and his beautiful artwork, both of which have had a profound impact on the world of design and art.
