Service and Inspiration
Hugh has served in the Yeomanry for 30 years, and now he exhibits his work at all the major History Festivals in England. He is not a photo-realist, but a follower of painters like Titian, Caravaggio and Sargent. His attention to military detail has a soldier’s eye whilst still retaining the painterly qualities of a loose almost impressionistic approach together with historic accuracy.
For those looking to commission their own piece of history, Hugh offers a collaborative process that honours the client’s vision while infusing it with his distinctive artistic style. Discover the elegance of traditional artistry with Hugh, and let the beauty of Britain’s heritage adorn your walls.
