If looks as if artists never retire. But
then, who would really want to when
there is so much beauty out there to
paint
John M. Horton
John Horton’s lifelong love affair with the
sea and maritime industries is readily
apparent in his paintings and his lifestyle.
He lives and works aboard his boat “Artist’s
Life” which is a converted fish boat generally
moored in Steveston, B.C. John cruises
B.C.’s coastal waters and observes keenly
and recreates on canvas the life, the history
and the industries which have arisen from
the sea around our coast. He is a
scrupulously realistic painter whose works
embody tecnical mastery, a discerning eye
for detail, and accuracy of representation.
John’s natural feeling for the sea is
complemented by his profound sense of
history and sensitivity to the many moods
Horton completed this architectural
drawing in 12 hours, working over-night
to meet a client’s dealine.

and subtleties of which the sea and marine life is capable. Mr. Horton’s works have
become part of many international private, corporate and public collections. (Ralph
Westmark - ‘Playboard Magazine’).
John Horton holds his first
model sailboat, Goblin, on
the beach at Poole with his
parents.
