Curriculum Vitae
John Gill
John Gill was
born in 1956 to Tasmanian parents in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, where he
spent his early childhood, and returned to for a short time as a teenager after
attending boarding school in Hobart for 4 years. In his 20s he moved back to
Tasmania and settled in Launceston, where he now lives with his wife and
family.
Intrigued by art
since his childhood, John has been drawing and painting for as long as he can remember.
This passion for art led him to attend the Melbourne School of Art from 1979 to
1980, and since then, he has been predominantly selftaught, influenced by the
works of historical and contemporary artists alike.
John is inspired
by the many contrasting land and seascapes of Tasmania and enjoys painting both
actual and representational landscapes in various mediums, tied together by a
sense of place or emotion.
