John Sibson is a landscape, marine and industrial painter working full time from his studio high on the Pennine fell side in Hilton. He also demonstrates and teaches around the North, and publishes his own giclee reproductions.

His main development has been in watercolours but more recently he has enjoyed a more free and colourful style in oils and acrylics.

He has exhibited in the mall galleries in London, in the Royal Society of Marine Artists open exhibitions and in the Houses of Parliament. He has been a recent prize- winner in the Cumbria Open Artists Exhibition and shows regularly in many one man and shared exhibitions  in galleries in the north and elsewhere, ranging from Scotland to Spain.

John, originally a mining engineer, is from a Cumbrian family and has returned to Cumbria, but still gains inspiration from his many national and international travels.
