Biography

My name is Murray William Cole Ince I am 55 years old and live in Totland Bay here on the beautiful Isle of Wight with Cynthia my wife of 35 years. I was a furniture maker/designer by trade so I had always drawn. nineteen years ago I put down my tools and picked up a paint brush and have been painting virtually non-stop ever since. I had taught many apprentices in the furniture industry and had taken some coaching courses for youth football and so was used to teaching, after fine tuning my painting skills I took a teaching qualification, did an A level in Art and Design to see art from a student point of view and have been teaching ever since. I have taught for the local Isle of Wight College in the Adult Education department. I have run various painting experiences at Warner Leisure's Norton Grange in Yarmouth. I am the tutor for The Barbara Newman Painting Group that currently meets from 13.00 to 15.00 every Friday, I teach very small groups (3) and on a one to one basis in my home studio by appointment and, finally, I demonstrate various mediums and subjects for art groups. When I'm not teaching I paint designs for the Greetings Card/printing industry for which I am represented by my agents Advocate-Art. When I'm not doing this I paint commissions and for exhibitions. I am a 'Leader for HF Holidays and lead painting holidays. I am a featured artist with Winsor and Newton and a product ambassador. I will be running two painting holidays on the glorious Greek island of Samos in 2013 and will also be running some painting workshops in conjunction with the National Trust on the Isle of Wight in 2013; keep an eye on my tuition listings for further details! New for this year I am tutoring a painting holiday with Bill and Lois at Il Mulino di Posara, The Watermill At Posara in Tuscany this September places are limited so book soon!
