John worked as an art teacher, advertising illustrator and marketing manager before opening two galleries and a framing business in Perth which he and his family ran for fifteen years. Today he is based on the Sunshine Coast where he paints after a daily ocean swim and body-surf.

His work is currently available in galleries in Perth - (Picasso Art and The Finishing Touch), Brisbane - (Red Hill Art Gallery) and the Sunshine Coast Queensland - (Gallery Beneath - Mooloolaba and Montville Art Gallery).
