ABOUT THE ARTIST

Colin Graham was born in North Lincolnshire. He trained at the Leeds College of Art and Leeds University, with Degrees in Book Illustration and Teaching (Art Education). Later qualifications followed with a BA (Open University, and an MA (York University).
His professional career has been in Art(s) Education in Schools and in Colleges and Polytechnics/University. He has also examined Art for a number of National Examination Boards and designed and examined Courses at Degree level. Throughout his career he has taught in Further & Adult Education. He has lectured to Social groups on Art & Artists and given practical demonstrations on drawing & painting to a number of Art Societies, in addition to judging their annual exhibitions of work.

This encouraging of learning in others has enabled him to develop his skills in a wide range of art mediums. The quality of his work speaks for itself, whether it be in Watercolour, Oils, Pastel, Charcoal, Pen & Ink, or Pencil. He is particularly interested in the important role of drawing in art and this is demonstrated, at the highest level, in his accomplished and sensitive portraits.

Over the years Colin has exhibited around North Lincolnshire, in the North and North East of England and in London. He has had One-man Shows in Redbourne Hall, Lincolnshire; The Scunthorpe Museum & Art Gallery, Galleries in Middlesbrough, Darlington and Alnwick and more recently in the The Art Works Gallery, Newcastle. He has also exhibited in the Middlesbrough Art Gallery, the Billingham Art Gallery, the Captain Cook Museum , the Lakeside Gallery (Ellerton N.Yorks), The Station gallery, Richmond, Yorkshire and Galleries in Newcastle and the Mall Gallery, London

Colin hopes that you find his work interesting, moving and satisfying
