John B. MacCallum (b.1953) is a self-taught artist living in Prince Edward Island. He started painting at an early age and has continued to develop his skills studying the styles of noted painters like Robert Harris, and impressionists such as Monet. Mr. MacCallum works with watercolors, pastels and oils.
MacCallum is the artist who painted the reproduction of Robert Harris' famous 1884 depiction of the Fathers of Confederation. The Harris original was destroyed when fire gutted the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa in 1916.
