About the artist

John Williams: Lowry City, Missouri, United States; Born in Independence Missouri in 1953, Studied painting at the Kansas City Art Institute, Penn Valley Community College, State Fair Community College, and the University of Central Missouri. A lifelong Kansas City Resident until 2003, when I moved my family to the Missouri Ozarks. I am married and have 5 children. In 1975 I hitch hiked to Anchorage Alaska from Kansas City Missouri, a distance of 3,523 miles. Hitch hiking in those days did not carry the stigma it does today, and was a fairly common practice.The Alaskan Highway was not paved as it is today, it was 1,500 miles of gravel and mud. I am believed to be the last climber to climb Mt. St Helens, from base to summit, before the historic eruption on May 18th 1980. I climbed with no climbing experience, and no companions. I entered the restricted Red Zone set up around the mountain, by hiking around the roadblocks. I reached the summit of Mt. St. Helens on April 30th 1980, just after noon.I experienced numerous earthquakes while on the mountain. I photographed the crater, then came home. My adventure is mentioned in Richard Waitt's Book, 'In the Path of Destruction' University of Washington Press 2015.
