John BIRCH

John Birch studied Fine Art at the West of England College of Art (now part of the University of the West of England). After graduating he remained in Bristol, continuing to paint, and held solo exhibitions at the Axis Gallery, Clifton and at the Bristol Arts Centre.

He also took part in several group exhibitions at the Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol, and his work was included in the 'British Realists' exhibition at the Ikon Gallery, Birmingham.

He then spent the rest of his career as a graphic designer, and only started painting seriously again after moving to Portscatho, on the Roseland peninsula, in 2013.

He is a regular exhibitor at the New Gallery, Portscatho, and at STISA open shows.
