John’s Profile

My first introduction to the world of art was when I was awarded at school a scholarship to the Cryoden College of Art at the age of 15 in 1960, after that I went to work in a London studio as a Junior Commercial Artist. Then in 1976 Specializing in retouching and illustration in a freelance capacity, I worked for my self for 25 years. 14 years ago I joined a local art society were I meet new and like minded friends. I retired in 2009 and hope to paint for my own pleasure for many years.

The beginning of 2013 I bought a Large Format printer Epson Stylus Pro 7900 and am now printing Giclee prints on paper & canvas for a number of artists.

I also started a small business making Picture frames. I have a good range of moldings to choose from at competitive prices. Commissions undertaken.

I specialise in highly detailed, hand painted, property / portraits / and all domestic animals. working in Watercolour, Oil, Acrylic, Coloured Pencils, & Graphite. but I think watercolour is my first love.
