John Butler

Chasing "The Sublime" in Expressionist Landscapes.

Now fully retired from years of medical general practice, John continues to immerse himself in the landscape as well as minimg a rich lode of memories of times spent in the wilderness, especially of his time in Tasmania.

He has a long exhibiting career with many solo shows and a number of art prizes.

He has recently added Gyotaku Workshops to his art practice so as to share, what for him, is a much loved art technique as well as another excuse to go fishing.
