John Cowley GRA

John served an apprenticeship with Vauxhall Motors in the Experimental Dept as a wood model maker and graduated as a car-body designer. It is this experience and his continual love for art and design that trained his eye for detail; a necessary asset when it is a railway painting resting on the easel.
Besides exhibiting John's paintings have been published and commissioned. The Train Of Hope group, who support CLIC Sargent - Children's Cancer Charity, asked John if he would consider donating an appropriate canvas for sale. The painting was completed and in addition signed limited edition prints produced. On behalf of Virgin Trains, Richard Branson signed a small number of the prints, as did Pete Waterman. This painting appears in the gallery.
