John R Harris

After a classic art school training at Cardiff College of Art John spent 25 years in art education in Wales, Malawi and England, becoming a full time painter in 1986. His wife Stella and both his sons are also artists. A member of The Royal Society of Watercolour Artists and past winner of The Welsh Artist of the year and The Elgar Prize John is based in Worcestershire but spends much of his time travelling overseas, anywhere where he can find wide open spaces. John’s fascination with landscape spans the dark valleys of his native South Wales; the subtle shades of the English countryside; away to the Australian outback, the broad vistas and mountains of Africa.

About 30 years ago a friend of a friend, suggested that the UAE was worth a visit.
