About the artist
SHORT BIO:
The sharp light & lush tropical vegetation of Southern Africa framed John’s early artistic influences. After majoring in Art & Art History at high school he pursued further study at Natal Technical College & with two Master Teachers, Bill Ainslee & Lionel Abrahams. An eighteen month working trip to Europe saw John studying the techniques of both classical & modern artists in leading museums & galleries. Subsequent travels to the Far East added to the wellspring of inspiration. Courses at Ontario College of Art & Design; with leading Toronto artists & U.S. artist/educator David Daniels, further developed his knowledge & technique. John is an award winning artist who participates in many exhibitions. His paintings, admired for their spontaneous & exuberant style, grace collections in Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, South Africa & Israel. He is an elected Signature Member of The Toronto Watercolour Society, President of North York Visual Artists, member of Willowdale Group & North Toronto Group of Artists
