About John Westbay

Art Angels artist John Westbay is a contemporary artist living and working in New York City. Inspired by his city of birth, John’s work gives you a glimpse inside of his consistently colorful mind.

“I have one goal. To always keep the inner-doodling child alive, and to share images of positivity, inspiration, and love.” Through his relentless dedication and progression as an artist; his paintings have been included in galleries and collections across the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East.

A pioneer within the framework of creating a new mold for the modern-day artist, John’s pieces are expansive, yet simple; evoking the kind of feeling we get through the essence of love. No matter the medium, Westbay’s body of work, all tied together through his one consistent message is the culmination of the pulse and soul that brings us together. A collection of pieces that are actually part of a bigger picture where humanity lives through love, and beats to a rhythm that never subsides.
