John Halliday

A Mobile-based painter with Gulf Coast roots, John’s work reflects a lifelong connection to the water and the wildlife that surrounds it.

Though his creative spirit started young, it wasn’t until a trip through Asia during graduate school that he discovered watercolor—a medium whose unpredictable, fluid nature mirrors the coastal environments that inspire him.

His style is loose, understated, and grounded in observation, inviting viewers to slow down and appreciate the quiet beauty of a moment.

John has worked as a nurse, designer, and teacher, but it’s through painting that he’s found his most personal form of expression.
