About John Ennis...
A native of Pennsylvania, John Ennis' training as an artist began in seventh grade, when he was given the opportunity to study with artist and sculptor Joseph Pavone of Bristol, PA. Later he would receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute, College of Art. He furthered his studies at the Art Students League of New York, where he has since become a life member. Here he received extensive training in figure painting under the influences of Robert Emil Schulz, Jack Faragasso, and privately with Michael Aviano, all students of the late Frank Reilly.

While still a student, John began painting illustrations for the book publishing industry, an award-winning career that spanned two decades with over one thousand book cover illustrations to his credit. Recognized internationally, his work has been published in over 26 foreign countries.

Returning from New York in 1990, John is again a resident of Bucks County. He works out of his Yardley studio painting portraits of area resident, still life art and landscapes of the surrounding countryside. As a fine artist, Mr. Ennis has received numerous awards, including the Certificate of Recognition from the Portrait Society of America. He is a member of the Portrait Society of America, Allied Artists of America, and Artsbridge.
