John McClenaghen studied at the Glasgow School of Art, the University of Huddersfield, University of Liverpool and the University of Chester. 

He is Senior Lecturer in Fine Art in the North Wales School of Art and Design, Glyndŵr University. 

John’s work explores the phenomena of time and change within the landscape. He is interested in painting’s ability to relate experience by drawing parallels between the action of weather upon the land and the action of colour and mark upon the ‘canvas’.
