John, the oldest and wisest twin,
lived through disability from
cerebral palsy to become an
amazing person with warmth,
humour and humanity. His life was supported through his Remuera and Mt Albert family,
CCS, institutions and finally in
supported living as part of the Geneva
community of houses in Mangere
Bridge.
John discovered the joy of art and
he was a longstanding artist
within Mapura (formerly Spark)
Studios.
Sadly John passed away on 19 February, 2019. He has left a legacy of memories, friendship and a prolific portfolio of art. Below is sample of the paintings and prints John produced. Click on the image for an expanded view
John’s painting has largely been through acrylics on paper and canvas and
through some printmaking. John emphasises colour combinations with the
use of highlighting marks. He has exhibited works at ArtStation in Ponsonby
and held a retrospective show at the Disability Support Centre in Royal Oak.
