Watercolor 40" x 26" 1988

John Eaton was born in Ottawa in 1942 and attended High Mowing School in New England, with special emphasis on painting and drawing. For three years following this he travelled in Europe, working in Yugoslavia and Greece and as an apprentice to a marble sculptor in Florence, Italy.

From 1961 to 1967 he had a studio in New York and taught drawing at the Waldorf School of Adelphi University. During this period, his pictures were used for multi-media poetry and dance recitals at the Lincoln Centre, the Donnell Library and the Cubiculo Off-Broadway Theatre, New York. In 1965 he illustrated "Fairy Tales" by E.E. Cummings published by Harcourt, Brace and World. In 1967 he assisted with the murals in the Pan-Am Building in New York and in 1971, he completed a series of murals for the dance studio of High Mowing School. 

The artist currently works from his studio in Rupert, Quebec, north of Ottawa, Ontario, where he has lived for the past 30 years.  John says "I live in the country because I feel it's important for an artist to be close to the life sequence where everything has its own unique rhythm." John Eaton
