Un nuevo ao, un nuevo comienzo, y nuevas

aspiraciones! Me gusta esta poca del ao.

Nos da la oportunidad de reexionar, hacerplanes, y soar en grande. Sin embargo, la

pregunta Qu has planeado para el prximo ao?es intimidante a principios de diciembre cuando

ni se han nalizado los planes de Navidad y Fin deAo, y por esa razn los eventos en los calendariosde enero de Qu Pasasiempre son un poco escasos.

Pero esto nos da la oportunidad de publicar ms

artculos acerca de las personas y organizaciones

que suean en grande sobre hacer que Guatemalasea un mejor lugar todos los meses del ao.

En una nota ms solemne, el equipo de Qu Pasa

desea darle un carioso adis a Karla Pons, amigade muchas personas aqu en La Antigua. Nuestrospensamientos estn con su familia y las personas

que ms la amaban.

Feliz Ao Nuevo para ti y los tuyos,Keri

A

new year, a new start, and new aspirations! I

like this time of year. It gives us a chance to

reect, make plans, and dream big. The question

What do you have planned for next year? is, however,daunting to answer at the beginning of December

when Christmas and New Years Eve plans havent

even been nalized, and for that reason Qu Pasas

calendars are always a bit slim in January. But this gives

us the opportunity to publish more articles about the

people and organizations that dream big about making

Guatemala a better place during all the months of the

year.

On a more somber note, that sta of Qu Pasawould

like to wish a fond farewell to Karla Pons, a friend to

many here in La Antigua. Our thoughts are with her

family and those who loved her most.

Happy New Yearto you and yours,

Keri

Originario de Wyoming, John Maxondesarroll una amplia vista de lanaturaleza y la esencia espiritual

que le imbuy. Ms tarde, mientrasviva cerca de la baha de San Franciscoen California, su deleite en los efectos de

luz y color le llevaron a convertirse en un

artista a la temprana edad de 15 aos. Sucapacidad natural fue alentada, y a los 16comenz a estudiar formalmente el arte,y nalmente obtuvo un ttulo BachelorenArtes de la Universidad Estatal de San Jose(California) y una Maestra en Bellas Artespor la Universidad de California Davis, ambasen pintura.

Durante sus aos formativos en el rea de

la baha de San Francisco, los movimientosde los aos 60 y principios de los 70 fueronuna fuerte inuencia en John, y su obracomenz a reejar el estilo y la percepcinde este perodo. Pero no fue sino hastaprincipios de los 1980 que empez amostrar su trabajo ms en serio y en una

escala ms amplia, atrayendo la atencin decoleccionistas con sus paisajes abstractos

que transmiten un sentido de espritu yque ofrecen una perspectiva nica de lospatrones y los contornos de la Tierra.

John se esfuerza por representar loinevitable de la humanidad a travs desu arte. Uno debe pintar la lucha. Pintarla alegra. Por encima de todo, pintar LaVerdad. Su deseo de pintar la gran bellezaque nos rodea y de compartir su propia

alegra personal se encuentra en sus paisajes

Originally from Wyoming, John Maxondeveloped an expansive view ofnature and the spiritual essenceit imbued. Later while living in the San

Francisco Bay area, his delight in the eects

of light and color led him to become an artist

at the young age of 15. His natural ability

was encouraged, and at 16 he began formallystudying art, eventually earning Bachelor

of Arts from San Jose State University and

a Master of Fine Art from University of

California Davis, both in painting.

During his formative years in the Bay

Area, the movements of the late 60s and

early 70s were strong inuences on John,

and his work began to reect the style and

perceptions of this period. But it was not until

the early 1980s that he began to show his

work more seriously and on a wider scale,

attracting the attention of collectors with his

abstract landscapes, which convey a sense of

spirit and oer a unique perspective on the

patterns and contours of the Earth.

John strives to represent human

inevitabilities through his art. Paint the

struggle. Paint the joy. Above all, paint

the Truth. His desire to paint the great

beauty that surrounds us and to share his

own personal joy is found in his abstractlandscapes and expressive use of color. As

the days progress, I certainly feel very blessed

and inspired, and it is this inspiration that he

shares with us.

John Maxon will be showing his work in

an exhibition entitled Vistas de Guatemala

at Galera Panza Verde (MAP F4), opening

on January 8th at 5 PM. www.panzaverde.
