Roy St. John was educated and studied Art in England in the county of Surrey, bicycling as a youth to Devon and Dorset, which feature so prominently as inspirations in his landscapes, during his summer holidays.
Prior to moving to southwest England, Roy exhibited his artwork internationally, released albums on the Virgin and Chiswick labels in London, and for fifteen years he hosted a weekday morning program on St. Louis radio. Following this stint, Roy returned to Devon, specifically the northern edge of Dartmoor, to continue painting and exhibiting his work. From the windows of his farmhouse in the three-house village of Falkedon, Roy had unobstructed views of the glorious Devon hills without having to battle the rugged winds of the moors while painting, though there is occasionally a piece of grass embedded in his paintings. The rocky tors, the sheep, and villages of the West Country feature in many of Roy’s pictures.
Most recently, Roy and his wife Lindsey moved to the American Midwest, where Lindsey created her Little Box Gallery and Roy continues to paint, exhibiting regularly at the Componere Gallery. Regarding Roy’s musical endeavors, he formed the Rhythm & Blues band Rocky & the Wranglers, playing local venues, and has released two albums on the Rollercoaster Records label in Gloucestershire. With Joe Sandheinrich, Roy also plays as a duo around St. Louis. You can visit the website roystjohnmusic.weebly.com for more information.
Locally, Roy St. John is a six-time winner of The Riverfront Times Poll as ‘Best Radio Personality’, has been listed as one of the ‘Fifty Best Things About St. Louis’ in St. Louis Magazine, and has been nominated to the Radio Hall of Fame.
