Artist Biography
John Emanuel was born in Bury, Lancashire in 1930. At the outbreak of WWII he moved with his parents to Barrow in Furness. Upon arrival, he was immediately evacuated to a farm on Shap Fell. After the war and finishing school, he completed an apprenticeship in painting and decorating. It wasn't until he attended a series of talks at Manchester University that he was introduced to art.
In 1964 his interest in the subject deepened and he moved to Cornwall where he worked full-time, allowing him to continue painting. It was ten years before he had his first exhibition. Since the early 1980s, John Emmanuel has lived in St Ives, working from a Porthmeor Studio overlooking Porthmeor Beach.
