JOHN LAWRENCE was born in Kent in 1940. He was awarded a scholarship to Beckenham Art College and following graduation, enjoyed a very successful commercial career working as a freelance illustrator with top London agencies and newspapers. In 1995 John and his wife moved to Kerry in Ireland to concentrate on his oil painting. John prefers to paint plein air and his feeling for movement, light and brushwork are evident in his dramatic use of colour and texture.
