Event description

An exhibition of original watercolours & oils by local artist Robert McQueen in the Theatre Foyer.

Artits Statement:

I am a local artist living in Sunderland but originally from Derbyshire.

Art has always been my passion but I started my working life in the coal mines at the age of 15. Art predominated my thoughts and at the age of 17 I was accepted at the Nottingham College of Arts and Craft where I studied commercial art. This led to working in the printing industry. Meanwhile I was painting at every opportunity.

As time progressed I began to have exhibitions and my work was greatly admired which encouraged me even further and I began taking commissions.

I moved to the North-East in 2019 and discovered the beautiful landscape and architecture around the Sunderland area. I am looking forward to adding Washington Arts Centre to the long list of venues I have exhibited.

All oil paintings are varnished.
