My name is John Piper, a professional artist and art tutor based in Bideford "The Little White Town" in beautiful North Devon, I have been an artist for over 40 years turning professional in 2015. I paint with and teach watercolours, Acrylics, Oils, Pastels and many other mediums including naturally sourced pigments from the North Devon coastline.
I am an accomplished stone sculptor and pride myself by using only hand tools and scrap stone to protect the environment.
I have been "Artist in Residence" at the National Trust at Bucks Mills Cabin several times over the past ten years. The residency there gives me a rare opportunity to concentrate on my art for arts sake with little distraction and influence from a commercial aspect.
I have many, many private commissions for a multitude of mediums and subject matter.
I have exhibited regularly in prestigious exhibitions such as the RHS open at Rosemoor, I also host courses for the Plough Arts centre at St Anne's chapel in Barnstaple and also workshops at RHS Rosemoor in both painting and Stone carving.
I offer courses and beginners lessons in watercolours and most other mediums and teach at group level for local art groups and social groups.
I also paint large scale indoor and outdoor murals and accept commissions for almost any size shape or position. (Limited availability)
I attend various craft fairs throughout the area where you will find a large selection of my original artwork and prints as well as my unique range of over 100 greetings cards all from my own original work.
