Graham was born and educated in Bath where a corner of the art room became known as “Cox corner”.

After 10 years in the Royal Navy his love of painting was re kindled in 1988 after discovering the watercolour artwork of David Bellamy. After much struggling with watercolours, Graham discovered pastels and never looked back. 

Graham has been a professional artist for over 20 years, running workshops and demonstrations throughout the south and southwest.

Graham is also a regular exhibitor at the NEC Birmingham, Patchings Art Festival and SNAE.
