After a start in engineering John made a career move to architecture. He studied at Napier University with a degree in Building Technology and then worked for various architectural practices in Edinburgh.
After a short time studying at Edinburgh College of Art, John ended up working in Oman and had an exhibition there based on some of the local landscapes.
He is a past President of the Scottish Society of Architect Artists and a past Arts Convener of the Scottish Arts Club.
John preferer to paint in oils and is always attracted to try and catch that moment of interest onto his canvas.
"Life is full of fleeting moments to be remembered."
