As one of Royal Worcester's leading artists, I specialized in painting some of their most prestigious vases. Since leaving the Company to go freelance in 1980 my work has been sought after by collectors in the United Kingdom, USA, Europe, The Far East, and Australia.

Fund Raising Solutions

Commissioning a painting with an edition of prints can be a lucrative fund raising idea. Prints, greeting cards, mugs, plates and calendars can be sold and the original painting even raffled! Churches, schools, clubs and pubs have all used this concept successfully in the past.

 

Commercial Gift Ideas

Business's, restaurants, pubs, hotels and golf clubs can commission prints, postcards, greeting cards and brochure illustrations for marketing and direct selling.

Gallery owners and agents contact me direct on UK 0044 (0)1905 24560 Greece 0030 24240 65124

Hand Painted Porcelain

As one of Royal Worcester Porcelain Company's leading artists I painted their most exclusive vases until leaving in 1980 to embark upon a freelance career as a full time watercolour artist. I have, however, continued to paint on china, concentrating mainly on "one off" plaques, vases and plates for individual clients.
As well as game birds, wildfowl, animals & still life it is possible to have houses, churches, views and family pets painted onto bone china. Simply email me with your ideas

Painting Holidays

After initially teaching watercolour painting on the small Greek Island of Alonissos in the 80's, my wife Jane and I finally decided to set down some roots there.
With the help of some very good friends on Alonissos we discovered an old olive grove surrounded by pine forest overlooking the Aegean - a perfect location for us both - nothing but the birds and cicada's to wake us up in the morning! But within walking distance to the main harbour for supplies and beaches for swimming. After buying the land in 2005 we designed our own house and studio, it was completed in 2006, and we are now lucky enough to live and work there from May to October.
In addition to painting and completing commissions, I organise painting holidays and classes throughout the summer (as featured in Sunvil Holidays Specialist Greece)

About the Artist

I left Swansea University in the 1970's and trained as a ceramic artist at the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company. After becoming one of their leading painters I turned freelance in 1980. Since then my watercolours, oils and ceramics have sold to galleries and collectors in the UK, Japan, USA, Australia, the Middle East and Europe.
Together with my wife Jane, I am now lucky enough to spend the summer months painting and holding watercolour painting courses from our house on the Greek Island of Alonissos. Whilst there I'm enjoying working with oils and watercolours as I attempt to capture the wonderful colours and light of the Aegean.
We return each Autumn to our UK home to catch up with family and friends and of course continue painting.

I hope that you've enjoyed looking through my website, if you would like any more information please email either Jane or myself on.. janechris.hughes@tesco.net
