Not sure what to say?

My name is IGOR KUZNETSOV. I am a Jewelry Designer | Goldsmith and have been maintaining my JEWELRY DESIGN STUDIO since November 2O2O at artist community at Nest Art Factory in Bridgeport Connecticut USA. I had been meeting JOHN CARNRIGHT many times since he was part of Nest Arts Factory community and I remember him as a great personality and very talented Artist. Recently, I have been start to researching his heritage as an artist and writer that is based upon some documents, letters,...

Margaret, I will never forget how you and John looked at each other. Your life together was an inspiration. Thinking of you today.

Dear John. We miss you and love you for ever !!!! Zita and Bruno

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always....John my friend my soul brother you,ll always be in my Heart

Margaret: I have just learned about John's passing. I sent him a FB message about a week ago and had not heard back. I am so sorry for your loss. John was a great colleague at Gaston Snow and thereafter a great friend. I treasure many of the pieces of his art that I have in my home here in Tokyo! I visited John several years ago at your home in Connecticut and we had a great afternoon. Again my condolences to you and your son! Chris O'Brien

John Michael Carnright. I knew him well, and he was a valued piece of my life for more than 70 years. We bonded in first grade, and the only thing that could separate us afterwards was his unexpected passing away. John was more than my friend; he was a lifetime creative companion. When he decided to turn his ARIA HAHN book into a multimedia project, he asked me to write the symphony for it. Aside from knowing John as an artistic creator, I knew him even better as a person. That began during...

Oh my! Shocking news today ! -- John was a fascinating fellow, a sculptor who worked in the hard-wood of tree stumps, and painted conceptual figuratives. He was a service veteran of the US Air Force. I first knew him as an early resident of The NEST Art Center in Bridgeport, CT, where he kept a large open studio for many years that was filled with his tree-work sculptures in aesthetic displays, later maintaining his work studio at his home in Milford, and a smaller studio at the NEST in which...

a great man and friend is gone and he'll be missed on both sides of the atlantic. but he "lives" on in his paintings, sculptures and written words. as it's too late for an autobiography it is hoped that a capable biographer of some sort comes forward with some testimony about this personality whose cv contains far more interesting experiences than those of many a "normal" citizen on this planet. what a great loss for Margaret and Will, my heartfelt condolences. paul e., vienna/eu

Dear Margaret and Will, I was saddened to hear of John's passing. He was a kind and gentle spirit and I was lucky to get to know him. I will cherish my memories of him from the early days at KHS with Jesse and Will to the times spent at the Nest and the film version of Aria Hahn with Maya. Sending thoughts and love to you both.
