John Sibson

John Sibson lives in Cumbria having spent his youth in the north of England, An earlier career in mining and minerals took him to many parts of the world.

During that time he took up watercolour painting and quickly began to make a name with his distinctive style.

He soon had a number of one man and shared exhibitions in the Yorkshire area, and became an elected member and subsequently Chairman of the Yorkshire Watercolour Society. This led to exhibiting pictures three times in the Houses of Parliament, and at other times in Westminster, and in Open Exhibitions of the Royal Society of Marine Artists. More recently he has been a prizewinner in the Cumbria Artists Open Exhibitions

He now lives Cumbria with his wife Frances. John paints full time in his studio at Hilton near Appleby in Westmorland, and spends regular winters at their small property in the north of New Zealand.

An interesting aspect of his painting is his use of his vintage Ferguson Tractor to go painting around his local lanes and byways.
