Artist in Plymouth, Devon
John Ashton lives and works in the tiny South Hams village of Aveton Gifford on the pretty estuary of the River Avon. Born in Somerset, he worked mainly as a lighting roadie for several of the world's major bands. In 1985 he moved to Modbury in South Devon. Since then he has been a successful artist taking on many commissions including murals, sign writing and pub signs. In 2006 he decided to concentrate on oil painting and since then he has had successful exhibitions around the South West.
