Neil Faulkner

Born in Britain in 1952, Neil works in both watercolour and oil. As a young man he was taken to the Royal Academy to see an exhibition of paintings by Andrew Wyeth. From that day forward Neil has found him to be a constant inspiration. As an adult he travelled to America to see more of the Wyeth paintings.

From college Neil went to Wedgewood for a few years, then moved to Royal Doulton where he soon became a Senior Designer producing designs and paintings for their china. He was responsible for numerous commemorative projects including the Silver and Golden Jubilees of the Queen, the weddings of Charles and Lady Diana, Andrew and Sarah, for many of the royal births and the giftware commemorating the 80^th, 90^th and 100^th birthdays of HRH Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

Neil’s paintings fall into the categories figurative and still life. In both areas he is concerned with the essential points of composition, colour, texture and observation. His interpretations are always quite stunning. He is fascinated with the way light falls onto objects, grass, trees and through windows and doors. The light and colour of Venice and Spain appeal to him. Spanish sunshine together with the freshness of fruit still bearing it's leaves never ceases to compel him to paint.

Although now a full time professional painter, Neil is still in demand for commissions in the ceramic industry. In 1995 Neil was invited to have his first exhibition in London.
