While John’s impressionistic style and use of colour has great exuberance the subject matter is nothing if not laid back! His work has been welcomed into the market with great enthusiasm. The phenomenal demand for his original pastels and oils has resulted in an extensive publishing programme of his superb limited edition prints and dazzling original silk-screens. He has also been recognised by the industry; he was nominated as Best Up-and-Coming Artist in both 1999 and 2000 by the Fine Art Trade Guild.
