John ArmstrongBorn in 1946 in Consett County Durham John Armstrong, Poet and Painter, began writing when he was 13 during his time studying holy orders in a monastery in Shropshire.

 

He wrote his first poem in the early hours of the morning. A time he still finds productive and enchanting to write.

 

Many years resident in London his work has taken him to China, Sicily, America and Ireland.

The unearthly textures, colours and landscapes that create the indescribable intensity and fusion of these worlds are the constant companions of his dreams. This is where he finds the inspiration for his paintings and his poems.
