John OrossJohn Oross is an artist of many stripes and colours who believes in being loving, understanding, and kind. His goal is to instill those values in others by communicating his experiences through art. A former event planner and general manager of Xente DM Inc, Oross retired from producing Oldtimers hockey games and Shrine circuses to concentrate on his mental health. He has been homeless four times, but he's never given into despair. Oross played a cello in his youth and to this day can write lyrically against any melody that inspires him.

Oross lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with his cat Kozy. He is a member of Manitoba Music, Beaver Ionic lodge, Scottish Rite, the Manitoba Writer's Guild, and the Khartum Shrine as a noble. Read More Read Less
