Featured Artist of the Month - Anthony Yates

We are now officially open at the Feversham Arms Hotel in Helmsley, North Yorkshire. Open 7 days a week for browsing and purchasing.

Our featured artist of the month this month is Anthony Yates.

Born in Birmingham, Anthony spent many years working in commercial art studios from the age of 16, before becoming a full-time painter. He studied at Bournville College of Art and has spent over 15 years attending privately-run life classes.

Exhibiting up and down the country he came to the attention of some noted artists. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists in 1998 and became a full member in 2002. Further recognition has followed and after being given the Davison Award for the Best Group of Paintings at London’s Mall Galleries in 2005 he was elected to the Royal Society of British Artists in the same year.

His work has been seen in the Royal West of England Academy, Bristol; Mall Galleries London; Dudley Museum and Art Gallery; Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery; RBSA Gallery and many more including Galerie "De Herkening", Amsterdam, Holland.

Anthony frames his paintings in the most exquisite way, totally bespoke and hand finished up to a very high standard.
