Glenn Marshall
I was born in 1950 in a small mining village in the West Riding of Yorkshire I am married with three children, and now three grandaughters. My working life covered many aspects- civil servant,pub landlord,lorry driver and many others. It was in 1999 that I accquired the letters after my name -F.O.L.- but it is not 'Fellow of'..but Fell off..a ladder! That's when I started to paint during the long days spent waiting for operations etc. It sounds corny but it seemed as if I had been waiting all my life to do this, and eventually with help and encouragement from many people, but especially my wife, I took the gamble and became a full time artist in March 2003.I have been closely associated with several galleries and from May 2007 to Dec 2008 I was pleased to open my own studio/gallery. From March 2008 I relocated my studio to the Priory Gallery in Old Town, Bridlington.From January 2010 I intend to work in my studio here at Finley House,so I can spend more time on developing my artistic direction, though I am looking forward to continuing with teaching.

Painting must be FUN...... Anyone CAN paint but for some reason we expect to be able to produce a masterpiece at our first attempt..nobody can.. but eventually, after a little guidance..who knows!
