John Fitzsimons - Fine artist

John graduated from DLIADT (Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology ) with a diploma in fine art printmaking in 1995 and joined Graphic Studio as a printmaker.  He did editioning work for the likes of John Graham and Cliona Doyle.  With the number and variety of artists there, John found the atmosphere stimulating and invigorating. Through his current job at Stoney Road Press, where he editions art, John has also worked with artists such as Charles Tyrrell, Donald Teskey, Dorothy Cross, Patrick Scott and Brian O’Doherty.

                                                                                        

In parallel with his printmaking, John kept “notebooks” of art in gouache and acrylics.  This formed the basis of his art career.  He returned to DLIADT to complete a degree in fine art in 2000 and is a member of La Catedral Studios since April 2011..
