A graduate of Liverpool College of Art, Adrian has worked as an Illustrator, Arts Development Officer and Lecturer in various academic and public institutions. He has been Arts Development Officer for Chester City Council, then Cheshire West and Chester Council, with a particular interest in visual art. Adrian's lectures are illustrated with colour images in powerpoint presentations, and are suitable for all levels of student, plus those who simply love the subject.
A useful and fascinating canter through the whole of Art History, with a view to unravelling the mysteries and getting the hang of the structure and chronology. Never to be puzzled, or feel like an outsider again.
Subjects include landscapes and seascapes (featuring artists like Turner, Constable, and Gainsborough, along with Dutch maritime scenes), portraits spanning diverse cultures, periods, and styles from formal "swagger portraits", still life paintings, art depicting conflict and war, religious art, and illustration—which, while not strictly a traditional art subject, spans a wide range from ancient Egyptian wall paintings to beloved children's book characters like Winnie the Pooh and Paddington.
