Califon artist, John Reilly received his early art training at the School of Art & Design in Manhattan, where he studied advertising art. After establishing a successful New York advertising business, he turned to serious art in his early 40’s with the same focus, creativity and energy that drove his success in advertising. Known for his broad brush, loose colorful style, he delights art lovers with his depictions of local scenes. His cover piece, “Here We Snow Again” is in oil on board.
He studied painting in NYC at the Art Student’s League, the National Academy of Design and in New Jersey at the Newark School of Fine Art.
John’s exhibition history includes such venues as Nabisco Gallery, New Jersey Center for Visual Arts, Watchung Arts Center and Dillon Library. He is represented in galleries in Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Ireland and is currently a guest artist at Studio 7 at 5 Morristown Road, Bernardsville.
