  I am pleased to welcome you to my Gallery and I hope that   you enjoy your visit. 

    Interested in art as a young boy, I was inspired and encouraged by my Father, Eric R. Farrow, who was an accomplished watercolourist. 

    My career has been involved in Sales & Marketing Management within the U.K. Food Manufacturing Industry, which gave me much scope to develop my art in product label design, marketing and sales promotion including National & International Food Exhibitions.   For 10 years before my retirement, I ran my own Sales & Marketing Agency working in the U.K. on behalf of various U.K. and European Food Manufacturers.

    During the 1970's, I attended many evening art courses studying the essentials of drawing, sketching and oil painting.    Due to career pressures and other interests, I did not paint again until my retirement in 2001, when I began watercolour painting at various workshops and courses followed by acrylics and oil pastels.

    Living near to an estuary and marine lake, I enjoy painting scenes of sailing craft in addition to sea and landscapes of my local area.
