John Tregembo's family originated from Breage, St Hilary in Cornwall. He was born in Padstow and began painting at a very early age. He paints the local landscape in a loose and expressive style, always striving to capture the unpredictable nature of the Atlantic Ocean. He first exhibited his work in 2006 and has since established himself in many galleries in Cornwall. In 2012 he opened his own gallery in Polmorla Walk, Wadebridge, where he paints and shows his work.
