About THE Kate Gallery

Now on display - John Stobart Prints and Drawings

A marine painter of harbor scenes and ship portraits, John Stobart has devoted his career to showing the majestic beauty of sailing ships from a previous era.

Born in Leicester, England, Stobart was the second son of a pharmacist and a mother who died giving birth to him. Raised by his maternal grandmother and various housekeepers, he showed an early aptitude for creativity but a lack of interest in academic learning. His low grades but apparent flair for drawing persuaded his father to enroll him in Derby College of Art in September, 1946.
