Artist Statement

About The Artist
John is an energetic outdoor painter who works almost exclusively in oils and is stimulated by the strong light of the Australian landscape. He is particularly enthusiastic about the districts from the Blue Mountains to Mudgee in The Central West artistically. He enjoys painting the landscape from life, “en plein air”, and engages in regular painting trips to country locations. John lives in the village of Mulgoa on the western fringes of Sydney, providing a lot for an artist to digest both aesthetically and culturally as a central location for the Hawkesbury, Blue Mountains and Sydney.

John has won many awards for his artworks and has held nineteen very successful solo exhibitions and numerous joint exhibitions. He has works in private collections throughout Australia and abroad and is a Fellow of the Royal Art Society. John has almost forty years teaching experience and is regularly called upon to conduct workshops and demonstrations for art societies and judge exhibitions.
