Artist Name: Ian WardTuition
I do not have any courses planned at the moment, but it may be something I consider in the future.
Biography
After studying Illustration and Graphic Design at Mansfield Art College and starting out in the Design Industry, I became a freelance Illustrator in 1995. Clients have included The National Trust, Mars Inc., Ladybird Books and Paul Lamond Games, to name just a few.
Working in a wide variety of styles and subjects, I produce work as diverse as children's books and games, illustrative maps, and cartoons and caricatures, to name just a few.
A love of the natural world led to my second career as a fine artist. From the beauty and power of the big cats, to the form and texture of the plant kingdom, my work reflects the wonder of our natural surroundings.
Having lived in Nottinghamshire all my life, I now find myself privileged to be based in the heart of Sherwood Forest at the Forest Edge Gallery, Sherwood Forest Art & Craft Centre, Edwinstowe. I can now be inspired by these beautiful surroundings.
Exhibitions
My paintings and prints can be seen all year round at the Forest Edge Gallery, Sherwood Forest Art & Craft Centre, Edwinstowe.
