Philip Johnson  Artist

I studied at The Birmingham College of Art before working for a while as an illustrator for The Open University. 

 Later in life I took a Bachelor of Education degree and subsequently took up full time teaching.

 Now retired I finally have the time to return to my personal passion for drawing and painting.

 I have been selected as a member of the Staffordshire Society of Artists and have also been invited to exhibit with the Leisure Painter and Painters Online Galleries.

 My intention is that each of my portraits don't just end up being something that is a mere similarity to the person but more an emotional portrait, which conveys the true personality and human spirit of my subject.
