Artists

John Biggs
John is one of Webb City's many talented artists.

Jack Dawson
Jack is an extraordinary artist with a flair for patriotism and religion. The hidden images in his paintings delight many and are a tribute to his talent. The praying hands, an icon for Webb City and one of the first things a visitor sees when entering the city from the east, is an example of his items of sculpture and the enormity of his talent.
