JJ Altrogge

"When I was a boy of 5 or 6 years of age, I was fascinated with the Sunday comic strips.  So I tried my own.  That's how I got started in 'art.'  After my discharge from the army, the Texaco geologists convinced me to get a degree in geology rather than commercial art.  In 1964 I came to Indiana, PA where Dave McNaughton and I started a painters' group meeting Monday evenings in the basement of the Episcopal Church.  All my children became interested in art.  In fact, my oldest son, Mark, and I sold many paintings at a local restaurant.  In 1994 I began to send hand-painted birthday cards to all my relatives and my friends in the Lord of Life Church.  By now I have made nearly 5,000 cards in this endeavor."
