The Art

John Cottam

Born in Stourbridge, UK. 

John was brought up in Whitehaven in the Lake District and lived in Manchester, Warrington, Edinburgh before moving to Finland in 2002. 

Eccles 1993

This is where a lot of the painting started in 1993 from a small studio apartment in Eccles, Manchester. 

Wanting to brighten up a very plain room with colour, I started to paint.

The styles have changed over time and there was a break for many years, but now creating more.
