Llewellyn Thomas

Llewellyn studied Art History at the University of Warwick where he won the Lord Rootes Travel Award. His specialist interests at that time were English medieval architecture and the romantic movements of the 18^th Century. He went on to write on various subjects and to work as a documentary researcher. He was responsible for producing the original list of Buildings of Merit for the 20^th Century Society and was also employed in the theatre as a scenery painter producing drops for Covent Garden and Glyndebourne.

He went on to study Fine Art and Illustration at the City and Guilds of London Art School. He specialised in wood-engraving and commissions include work for the Royal Mail and the Folio Society. Llewellyn studied Illustration at the Royal College of Art. He won the Paris studio bursary and continued to develop the wide illustration practice for which he is principally known. Llewellyn has exhibited since 1978 and his work is very much in the English tradition, with subject matter ranging landscape and weather, interior and exterior, through illustration and printmaking.
