John Brunsdon (1933-2014) studied at the Royal College of Art from 1955 to 1958. He was head of the printmaking department at St.Albans College of Art for sixteen years.
He has exhibited widely in the United States and Europe and has participated in many one-man shows and group exhibitions in the UK.

He is interested in man's influence on the landscape - the contrast between buildings and countryside: the one temporary the other timeless and primeval.
