John Osgood

John Osgood is a Danville-based painter and muralist whose work explores connection: to nature, to one another, and to the places and experiences that shape us.

Raised in the Pacific Northwest and now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Osgood creates vibrant paintings and murals that combine bold color, layered mark-making, birds, botanical forms, and abstract pattern. His work often uses humor, symbolism, and visual storytelling to examine resilience, reflection, family, and our shared relationship with the natural world.

Birds are a recurring presence in Osgood’s work. Their behaviors, nesting, nurturing, adapting, surviving, and moving through changing environments, offer a way to reflect on the human experience while also calling attention to the ecosystems we share.

Osgood holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Washington State University with a minor in Fine Arts. His work has been exhibited at venues including 111 Minna Gallery, Mirus Gallery, Voss Gallery, Brian Marki Fine Art, Center on Contemporary Art, among others. His murals and commissioned work can be found throughout the West Coast, with clients including Aiden Hotels, Capital One, Microsoft, IBM, Uber, and New Amsterdam Vodka.
