He was born in 1878 in Preston and lived with his brothers and sisters. He initially worked in a cotton mill in Preston and then worked as a painter and decorator in the family business. In the late 1890s he became an artist full time visiting Devon and Cornwall.
From 1902 he studied art under Julius Olsson and Algernon Talmage followed by classes in Paris at The Académie Colarossi under Auguste Joseph Delecluse. In 1905 he exhibited three paintings at the Royal Academy including Summer Evening, Low Tide and The Bay Cloudy Day.
During 1906 he painted in the south of England and the River Thames in London. In 1911 he produced paintings from Concarneau and the East coast.
During the war he served in the East Surrey Regiment based in France between 1916-1918. After marrying he moved to Brixham with a studio in St.Ives, becoming a founder member of the St.Ives Society of Artists in 1927.
From the early 1930s he painted Majorca, Italy as well as the West Country and Wales. In the late 1930s he visited and painted in Hampshire. Towards the end of his life he lived in Ermington, Folkstone and finally Preston.

Did he make prints?
We are often shown prints by J.A.Park which seem to be period textured/varnished prints, which are made to look like oil paintings.
These are not original paintings and are of small value. Please see below some images of JA Park prints on paper.
