"John Snow was a revered mentor to new and emerging artists. Through a modernist sensibility, he used printmaking to depict life in Southern Alberta through his imagery of landscapes, objects, and portraits.  His legacy continues to impact printmaking in Canada, inspiring emerging artists to interact and respond to his work through their own exploration of life and landscape in their prints." - Sheryl Spencer, Curator of 'In Conversation with John Snow'
