Art Among the Stacks - Calvert Library - Lib.md.us

John A. Shaffner retired from The May Company after twenty-eight years, working as a V.P. of
Store Planning and Merchandising, returning to the Washington, D. C. area in 1998. "Using a
natural material, a sculpture created of different types of wood, textures, forms and shapes bring
out the very best quality of this old, but contemporary material. Working with these materials has
a fascination for me in the way I can bend, shape, cut and mold them into a form, which is
natural or unnatural to its original means." John has had his work in many group and national
juried shows throughout the country and has won numerous awards in the Midwest and East
Coast. His work is in the collection of the Columbus College of Art and Design, The May
Company, Prather, Seegar, Farmer of Washington, D.C, FRE of Springfield, Virginia and
numerous other private collections. He is listed in "Who’s Who in the Midwest".
