Geoffrey Smith was born in Manchester in 1945 and studied illustration at Cheshire Collage of Art. His preferred medium is oils working on a gesso prepared panel or stretched canvas. He has painted a wide range of subjects, but in recent years has concentrated on hares, barn owls and herdwick sheep; using light to create an atmosphere whether moonlight, sunset or misty dawn. He currently lives and paints in Ambleside.
