David Beckers

Lyme he worked in London as a successful graphic designer/illustrator for large international companies and advertising agencies.
Working in watercolour and oil, his paintings have been published in magazines, advertisements and limited edition prints
and have sold around the world. The versatility of his subjects is as varied as are his painting and drawing techniques. David
has trained at Twickenham Art School, St. Martins and The London College of Printing and Graphic Arts. He has taught sketching
and painting and gives demonstrations and runs workshops. His work can be seen on his
website and at his gallery in Lyme Regis.

taught for 35 years, attaining the position of Head of Art, Drama and Music at Ashton Park School in Bristol. He also taught
landscape and figure painting to adults. Roger says he has loved art and drawing for as long as he can remember and although
he has now retired from teaching he has not lost his passion to impart knowledge. Retirement has enabled him to devote
himself to tending his beautiful cottage garden, water colour painting and, his best love of all, figure drawing. From
time to time Roger gives exhibitions and runs life workshops from his studio in Membury.
