John Pearson is an established Australian artist. He interprets the Australian landscape, capturing its subtleties of colour and light using a spontaneous technique in oils.  John also explores urban scenes and the place of the human figure. Newer works of cars and cityscapes have a contemporary feel and urgency. Other works capture the nostalgia of old VW Beetles and Kombis in a series depicting times passed and elements of surf culture. His works capture a soft mood and feeling of contemplation.

John completed a BA Fine Arts degree in 1974 and an MBA in 1988. John worked as an art teacher, advertising illustrator and marketing manager before opening two galleries and a framing business in Perth which he and his family ran for fifteen years. Today he is based on the Sunshine Coast where he paints after a daily ocean swim and body-surf.
