John
Agnew
John Agnew was born in Dayton, Ohio. His
parents met in art school, so he had an early exposure to the art world.
Despite this influence, his early interests lead to dinosaurs and reptiles, and
plans to become a zoologist. This course was nurtured by the Dayton Museum of
Natural History, where he went through the museum`s nature lore classes and as
a high school student landed a job in the museum`s "Junior Curator"
program, caring for the live reptile display.
When his artistic talents were
discovered, he moved to the museum`s exhibits department where he made models
and painted diorama backgrounds. Deciding that exhibits let him enjoy the best
of science and art, he realized that museum exhibits would be his career
choice. He pursued a degree in Fine Arts while taking as many science electives
as he could.
