Bio 
John Stoa was born in Dundee, Scotland in 1944 where he commenced his working life in the Dundee Parks Department as a gardener. He also studied crop science at The Scottish Crop Research Institute in Invergowrie Dundee. After getting married he moved south to a fruit farm in Sussex. He gained his National Diploma in Horticulture in 1969 at college in Essex, then moved to a small village in Worcester called Bromyard to work as a manager on Fox Fruit Farm. In 1972 he returned to parks work and provision of outdoor leisure facilities in Dudley then in 1976 moved to Darlington, and in 1984 came north to Livingston before returning to Dundee in 2001.John's interest in art was established in early childhood. He is self taught but constantly experiments, and studies the work of other contemporary artists. His subjects have covered town to country, floral to figurative, snow scenes, summer landscapes, boats, Scottish castles and pets. His work shows a range of influences, in the early traditional years from the teachings of McIntosh Patrick, who was his local art hero from childhood. |
