John L. Harris
Artist, Designer
It was during his early education in Ipswich, Suffolk that John began to draw and paint. At the age of 14 he was awarded the Anna Airy R.A. Prize for Fine Art.
He studied in London, becoming a graphic design graduate in 1966. In the following years he worked as a graphic designer, film producer, illustrator and painter in watercolour, acrylics and oils, with much of his work reproduced in calendars and fine art cards. Other creative work includes directing the Booker Prize for Excellence during a period of 9 years.
His work hangs in private collections in England, Scotland, France, Canada, the USA and Australia.
He has exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and has had several one-man shows including the Bath Festival.
The subject matter for his paintings comes from his love of sailing boats, the coastline; especially the ever-changing light that reflects on the sea or the mud flats of estuaries at low tide, and visits to naturally wild places in the countryside. Exploration 'off the beaten track' produces much inspiration to paint the atmospheric mood of the moment, the surrounding environment and the wildlife that inhabits it.
He works from sketches produced ‘plein-air, then explores the forms of nature with expressive brush stokes and the characteristics of the medium, seeking spontaneity and quality of light.
His studio and home is in the small hamlet of Spirthill near Calne in Wiltshire.
Price range from £150 - £850
