Te Wāhi Toi/The Arts Place exists to connect the creative community of Queenstown and Wānaka with audiences, students, teachers, spaces and each other. We are a not-for-profit organisation powered by Three Lakes Cultural Trust and inspired by local arts and culture.
John Toomer is a well-established Otago artist who has been painting professionally for over 30 years. Painting primarily in oil, John's work depicts scenes of Otago and the surrounding Southern Regions. His style, described as 'contemporary realism', showcases old, dilapidated buildings such as homesteads, country stores, churches, and railway stations. Through his paintings, John provides a glimpse into the beauty and history of this part of New Zealand.
He takes inspiration and is a fan of American artist Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009), a rural realist painter whose precise realist views of hardscrabble rural life became icons of national culture and sparked endless debates about the nature of modern art.
