John Leaver

John is a retired professional photographer with over 30 years experience in capturing the beauty of everything from weddings, models, landscapes and city buildings and life. He was known for his keen eye for detail, and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in his photographs.

After retiring, John decided to explore his creativity in a different way and began to focus on creating computer paintings. Drawing inspiration from his favourite artists, such as Paul Gauguin, Henri Rousseau, Marc Chagall, and Edward Hopper, John developed a style that incorporates many of the subjects that he focused on during his career as a photographer.

He believes that his experiences behind the camera have informed his artistic vision and helped him to develop a unique perspective on the world around him.

He continues to experiment with new techniques and styles in his art, always striving to express the beauty and complexity of life in new and meaningful ways.

When he is not creating, John enjoys spending time with his 6 grown up children and his 7 grandchildren.
