Decaying timber fishing boats and barges studies Drawing

Mike Screen was born in 1964 in Wales and has lived near Portsmouth for the past 20 years. He went to the Gwent College of Higher Education to study for a Foundation Course in Art and Design before going to South Glamorgan Institute of Higher Education where he got a BA (Hons) in Fine Art and Sculpture. Later, he moved to Sheffield and got a Post Graduate Certificate in Education, specialised in Craft Design and Technology at City Polytechnic. Naturally hugely creative, Mike is now taking a break from Education and spending all his spare time painting and drawing. He has recently developed a deep interest in nautical art, and is currently working on a portfolio based on studies of decaying and abandoned ships and boats.
