Artist: John Whalley
He was born on 8 May 1947 (75 years old). He grew up in New York, received training at Rhode Island School of design and settled in Maine 10 years later. Left his painting career for 7 years and created New Horizons Youth Ranch in Brazil. “School for orphan children” Currently lives in Damariscotta, Maine.
His Mother was an artist and he was born in New York, where he created his first oil painting. At the time, he was eight years old.
He uses many lines to show the wear and tear of the items he draws. You can't see any of the separations of lines which makes it feel more clear and like a picture.
His art projects are super realistic portraits of people and objects. He uses lots of negative and positive, space to make his art feel more real. He is a fantastic artist, and we were all baffled by what we saw. At first, they all liked photos, but then we realized that they were paintings and sketches.
