              Equine, Sporting & Wildlife Painter & Sculptor, Middleham

John lives and works in the centre of Middleham and is inspired by the sight of racehorses passing daily beneath his studio windows on their way to the gallops. His works have been shown in London at the Osborne Studio Gallery, the Alexandra Gallery and the Mall Galleries and is also on show at the Phoenix Fine Art Gallery in Richmond , North Yorkshire. He contributes paintings every year to be used as illustrations for the well known racing guide 'Travelling the Turf' and is included in the Directory of British Equestrian Artists as well as other collectors' reference books.

In addition to portraits of horses and dogs he was commissioned by the World Wildlife Fund, the BBC and Anglia Television to sculpt bronze figures of various animals to be used as trophies for their biennial film festival, "Wildscreen" and presented at the television awards ceremonies...
