John R Todd - John was born in Northumberland on the North East coast of England and spent his formative years in the shipping port and seaside town of Blyth .  The rich countryside and varied coastline of Northumberland with its mining towns, small fishing villages and busy shipping ports, were the inspiration for his first attempts in capturing the natural elements around him.

With a love of the sea and a need to travel, he succumbed to a recruitment campaign and joined the navy.  Throughout his naval career his passion for art was never compromised.  His travels brought him into contact with many artists, gaining him invaluable knowledge in the working practices, techniques and traditions in various cultures throughout the world.

He first arrived in Scotland in the late 1950’s where he eventually married and set up home in Lossiemouth where he still lives and works from his studio at home.

No artist can work in Scotland without drawing inspiration from its majestic mountains, forests, open moors and farmland, all with such rich and diverse forms of wildlife.  With so much beauty around, it is easy to understand why he chooses to portray his works with a kind of truth and simplicity which is unaffected by the vagaries of fashions on the Art World.
