John has exhibited throughout Europe and North America, has won numerous awards, and has many corporate and private commissions to his credit. His work is full of light, colour, expressive movement with wonderful play of values and compliments. He is able to capture the heart of our iconic Canadian landscape, our lakes and rivers and their natural beauty. He has taught classes all over North America from Ontario to British Columbia, and down to the sunny south, West Palm Beach, Florida – lucky him! To view his work see prycestudios.com.
