Essex- born John Horsewell had a love for art from an early age; unsurprising when you consider that his parents and grandfather were all professional artists. Whilst at school he experimented with all forms of media, soon realizing that oils were most suited to his style of working, best allowing him to convey the light and shadow he desired. John Horsewell started painting professionally after studying art at college and his style seemed at first to be similar to that of his father. However, over the last few years, John has branched out and established his own superb touch. A much admired landscape artist, the focus of John's work being seashores and landscapes, heavily influenced by where his travels have taken him, whether it be tranquil shores or a sunny vista, each one is a delight, and a stunning focal point.
