Graham's art work

I trained in art at Northumberland College between 1966 and 1969. During the following period, whilst a teacher, I worked at Wallsend Youth Centre doing set design for productions, along with some at the Newcastle Playhouse Workshop. I taught art and pottery evening classes at South Shields Marine and Technical College, as well as screen printing posters for Bailey's Night Clubs (later to become a manager with them).  When I moved to Scarborough I ran a sign writing business. Many years later, back in education, I was a tutor on the Humberside 6th form visits to Venice and Paris. Later I ran painting holidays in Tuscany where I rented great acommodation for the participants and took them to great sights such as San Gimignano, Certaldo, Volterra and F;orence. Since then I have painted, on and off, until I moved to Leicestershire where, having a studio - (and more time!) I have worked continually seeking to find my preferred style once again. My membership on the committee of the Leicester Sketch Club has helped me get fully involved with my work.
The first oil painting I ever did - when I was 14, 1961
