John is a figurative a painter working from home in his studio on the Norfolk/Suffolk border and from a base in Appleby in Cumbria.

He also publishes his own giclee reproductions.

He became better known for watercolours but as result of summer school at the Slade in London he now enjoyes developing a distinctive style in oils and acrylics. This has also made him enjoy much more “plein air” painting.

Over many years he has had a multitude of one man and shared exhibitions in galleries, mostly in the North of England, but also in Scotland and as far afield as Spain and New Zealand.

In the past he has exhibited in the Mall galleries in London in the Royal Society of Marine Artists Open exhibitions and in the Houses of Parliament and more recently has had regular success in having work accepted for, and been a prizewinner in the Cumbria Open Artists exhibitions.
