PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
A gifted artist since he was a child, John Koehler's work has crossed the spectrum of pen-and-ink, watercolor, advertising, graphic design, photo-retouching, illustration, and digital painting. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University's award-winning art program in 1980, John went on to graduate studies at George Washington University. After spending twelve years at various Washington, DC, area ad agencies working as an art director, John started his own graphic design firm, Koehler Studios, in 1994. When he sold that firm in 2010, Koehler formed Koehler Books, a publishing company. He also worked as director of Younglife Capernaum, a ministry for kids with disabilities. He is a member of the B�rpenf�rtzen Brothers and is the 1991 Boomerang World Champ. He has two daughters, Kimmi and Danielle, and lives with his wife, Patty, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Their fortieth wedding anniversary is in 2022.
