Raffle 2012

“Sunset Over the Seine River”

Born in Guardiagrele, Italy in 1944, John’s love of art developed from an early age. The close association with his country helped develop a strong affinity for the local landscape.  John studied art at the Chieti Art Institute.  He has concentrated his artistic talent exclusively in watercolour paintings and John’s subject matter is today dominated by the influences of European subject matter, most notably Tuscan and Venetian landscapes.  In recent years, John has been the recipient of numerous awards and conducts watercolour classes.
