With a career spanning more than 40 years, award-winning artist John Moisan demonstrated his artistic talent at an early age. Drawing inspiration from his childhood spent on the northeastern South Dakota prairie, John developed an early appreciation for the state's wildlife and natural beauty—a continuing theme that can be seen in his artwork.
Larry Rohrer of South Dakota Public Broadcasting recently sat down with 1995 SD Hall of Fame inductee John Moisan to discuss:
- his journey to becoming a full-time artist and the different capacities he worked in;
- how his time serving in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War has inspired a shift in his artistic inspiration later in life;
- and what he loves about sharing his art.
John has been selected as the Artist of the Year two separate times by the South Dakota Wildlife Federation. He was also selected to design the state's unique license plates for the years 1978 and 1981. In addition to his work as a painter, John has dedicated his time and talent to serving veterans in numerous capacities throughout South Dakota.
