David's studio is open to the public at Manse Road, Arrowtown, New Zealand.

Arrowtown is a rich source of inspiration for David John's art, having provided material to illustrate three books about the gold mining town's history as well as inspiration for his paintings, poetry and the stage musical 'RUSH!'. Over 40,000 people have now seen this smash hit show in New Zealand theatres.

His reputation became firmly established in New Zealand, not only as an award winning artist and writer but also as a playwright and actor. He has written and directed three plays and a musical for community theatre and has gained stage experience with drama groups and theatre-sport.
