Alfred Drew

A self taught artist-born in Penzance in beautiful Cornwall where his love of the sea began as he spent hours as a boy, at the harbour-side, watching the shipping coming and going in and out of Mount’s Bay.   

During WW2 he served with the Paras for five years in the Far East.   When he returned to ‘Civvy Street’ in 1947 he found he just couldn’t settle down, so he joined the Merchant Navy serving mostly on oil tankers tramping round the world for 15 years.   By now the sea was in his blood and when he gave up going to sea in the 60’s he started to paint his sea memories.  He continued to paint and teach art from his studio for the next 15 years.  Now retired, he paints local scenes and landscapes as well as ships and seascapes.  He paints in oils, acrylics and watercolours.

All work is sold unframed for ease of delivery.
