Yanke, John

I earned my BFA from MIAD starting in 1985 finally finishing in 1993. I worked as an industrial designer designing seats and saddlebags for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles 1988 through 2000. I moved to Arizona and had a mural and faux painting business until the housing market crash. Since that time I’ve been teaching art and am finally getting my MFA from Azusa Pacific University the summer of 2019. I am currently creating 3-D works using mattress springs as my raw material. 2018-19 school year the University of Arizona senior Engineering students are engineering a device I designed for rolling mattress spring units. You’ll have to visit my website to see what I create with that device which will be completed May of 2019.
