Terry Painting

Ian Mowforth was born in 1966 in Harworth, Nottinghamshire. He went to Doncaster Grammar School where he discovered his passion for art. Wimbledon School of Art was where he completed a degree in Painting in the 80s. Ian went on to complete an MA at Brighton university from 1992-1994. He has taught children and adults in some capacity since the 90s. Mowforth’s work falls in to different categories. Essentially a painter of figurative subjects he is interested in colour and mark making. When making an image of a dog in paint or print Ian tries to capture the essence of the animal. The life of the animal painted, drawn or printed, is all in their eyes. Mowforth is currently painting terriers of all descriptions in oils on panel and aluminium. He is also working on a series of Lino cuts of dogs, cats and lizards. Mowforth had a print in the Royal Academy last summer and had the further honour of having his image turned in to a card for the shop. Ian Mowforth’s work hangs in many private collections in the U.K., USA, Europe and Australia.
