John Henry was a proud graduate of the S.I.F.C / F.N.U.C, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts Indian Art, in June of 2004. A respected artist, John worked steadily over many years practicing his craft and developing his unique style. However, it was during his fight with cancer that his artwork flourished. He was prolific in his final years building a significant body of work that he proudly displayed at numerous shows and exhibitions. But John's proudest moment came with the birth of son his Nikosis who he loved and cherished. All who were blessed to have known him will miss John Henry and his kind and gentle spirit, but his memory will remain in our hearts forever.
