Advancing the tradition of American realists and acknowledging the Dutch masters, John Whalley’s paintings go well beyond mere technique. His work exudes tremendous warmth, luminosity and charm. He responds to what he calls “the beauty that speaks softly.” He was born in Brooklyn, New York and currently lives in midcoast Maine. Whalley received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1976.

John’s work is included in many national and international collections, including those of the Portland Museum of Art, the Bates Museum of Art, the Colby College Museum of Art in Maine; the Museum of Biblical Art, Dallas, Texas; the Puratos World Heritage Library, Saint Vith, Belgium; the Georgia Museum of Art, Athens, Georgia; and the Kemper Museum of Art, Kansas City.

John Whalley is represented in Maine by Greenhut Galleries.
