John Butler

Born in Shropshire of part Cornish parentage, John lived and worked in Shropshire and adjoining counties, until he retired and moved to Cornwall in 2009. Largely self-taught with no formal art background or training, John has painted since childhood,  although only on retirement was he able to develop what had become almost a forgotten hobby. John has long been fascinated by beaches, tides and coast lines generally, mainly finding inspiration on the coasts of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
