As his passion and talent for sculpture emerged he attended Art School where he deepened his knowledge and developed his technique. John trained at “The Sculpture Academy’ now known as “The Art Academy” in London. Whilst in the throes of his studies, he was fortunate enough to secured a couple of commissions, which fired his passion even more. His talents were recognised by two renowned sculptresses: Lorne McKeane and Tanya Russell, who endeavoured to offer their support and share their expertise, from which John benefited greatly.
