ALLAN BEAVER

Paintings & Pastel work

Artist Statement

​

I was born and educated in Hamilton...

​

As a young school student I won numerous awards and prizes for Freehand sketching and drawing.  An upholsterer by trade my freehand skills were of great assistance to the drawing of plans and designs.

​

My love of the outdoors, pig hunting, deer stalking, fresh and salt water fishing shows works in with my work that I produce today.  

​

My first choice media was Oils, but since having lessons in Pastels I enjoy both now.  I still love free hand sketching.

​

I'm mostly self taught with the assistance of the occasional day Tutor, with the Coromandel Art Group of which I'm a member.

In the past two years I have been to courses with Maxine Thompson, and as a Member of PANZ I've attended their courses too.

My studio is at 95 Pagitt Street which is open to the public.
