John’s exhibition will feature portraits with extraordinary character and expression. He combines both regular and flourescent pigments which give an unusual and beautiful effect. When viewed under blacklight, his art takes on another dimension.

Don’t miss seeing this exciting and innovative exhibition!

For more on John look for an article in this Friday’s Garden Island Newspaper, written by Pam Woolway.
