John studied Engineering in college, it was Art that filled his heart. After a technical and business career of 30 years, the ‘pull’ of Art was too great and he became a fulltime painter 20 years ago.
It’s a decision he has never regretted, he’s worked hard to be a better painter, and through his teaching he has found a deeper understanding of what makes good Art.

He wanted to learn how to paint all genres – from landscape to still life, from portraits to figurative painting.He realised how much he enjoyed teaching others what he’d learned over many decades.His work life now is a lovely mixture of painting for galleries, commissions, teaching workshops and personal mentoring, with the prospect of online tuition in the pipeline.
