Lee Fearnley

Originally from Mirfield, West Yorkshire Lee Fearnley studied at Batley College of Art before beginning his career in design with a greeting card company. In 1995 he took the decision to become a freelance artist and illustrator with many clients both in the UK as well as abroad.

With his work now hanging in private collections across the world Fearnley explains “I have a deep love of painting figures and to be able to combine that with another passion of mine in sport, is extremely enjoyable, particularly in vintage scenes as they aren’t tainted with the modern day commercialism that most sports have today. The unprofessional naivety of vintage sport in not only visually more appealling to me, but it lends itself to a more stylised ,humourous type of figure.”
