Venus Griffiths
Venus Griffiths started her creative career with a scholarship to Wakefield Art College after which she was employed as a Technical Illustrator. After her children had grown-up, she returned to her own education. She completed a Foundation Fine Arts course at Trent Polytechnic and later qualified as an art teacher.
Venus moved to Keswick in 1988 and started a teaching position at Lairthwaite Adult Education Centre. This led to setting up her home studio, where she worked in varying media including oils, watercolours, acrylics and mono-screenprints.
Sadly, Venus passed away in May 2024. We are pleased to continue to display and sell some of her remaining work on behalf of her family.
