John Brown was born in Dumfries in the south west of Scotland and grew up on a large garden estate called Threave where his father worked. In 1985, he moved to Edinburgh to study for a degree in drawing and painting at Edinburgh College of Art and became one of the first to go on and graduate with a master's degree in painting in 1991. During this time, he was awarded a number of travelling scholarships that enabled him, after graduating, to make extensive tours of Europe and the United States. On returning to Scotland in 1994, he began teaching part time at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) and Grays School of Art in Aberdeen. This has since led on to a more permanent position at ECA where John works with a wide range of students in the School of Drawing and Painting. Read more...
