Career
Born in Northumberland, Church trained at Newcastle College and the Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence where he learned to paint using the sight-size portrait tradition. Because most of his work is painted to commission, it is rarely seen on public display. His one man exhibitions at galleries in Mayfair in 2005 and 2013 were both sell outs.
Writing in the catalogue of his 2013 show "Further Afield", Sotheby"s chairman Henry Wyndham says: "In my opinion, Church"s work carries many of the hallmarks of some of the most renowned British painters of the early 20th century."
Church lives and works in Dorset.
