Keith Melling was born in Colne, Lancashire in 1946 and has been drawing and painting from an early age. Largely self taught, he had his first exhibition in 1966, before studying at Burnley School of Art and the Harris College, Preston.   Detailed topographical accuracy combined with strong composition and ‘feeling of place’ have been his hallmark. there is an ever increasing demand for his fine quality prints which have been published from paintings produced over the past thirty years.

Graham Carver lived his early life in Norfolk. He studied Art and Design at Hornsey College of Art in London before moving to Leeds College of Art to study painting. He subsequently made his home in Yorkshire and taught Art and Design in Leeds for a number of years before becoming a full-time professional painter. he now lives near Kirby Stephen in Cumbria, equidistant between his main subject areas, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.
