As I am a poor struggling Artist working in a garret, I am unable to pay for expensive IT consultants so I am forced to produce my own website.
I would therefore be very grateful if you could report any broken links, mistakes or other difficulties that you may find on this site.
Personal Details
Phil Lockwood N.D.D.
Work is included in private collections in America, France, Norway, Austria, Japan, Australia,Abu Dhabi and Switzerland
I was born - Sheffield, England and I am now living in the Ecclesall area of the city.
My training was at :-
I worked in many areas of Arts and Crafts - Furniture Design, Product Design, Pottery, Etc. before obtaining a teaching certificate and becoming a school teacher.
After taking early retirement from teaching, I have bumbled along as a sort of freelance artist/designer.
I do sometimes produce "serious" work, but I do not see why "Art" has to be po-faced so most of my work (especially my Automata and the commissioned "Pen and Ink" work) has an element of humour.
Over the past few years I have been concentrating more on painting with occasional forays into 3D work, My paintings (often containing a humorous element) are usually fantasy Townscapes, Cityscapes, Industrial scenes and fantasy Hothouse/conservatories, but other subjects are sometimes explored..
Studio visits are usually available - contact me to arrange time and date.
