About Alan Weston

Cornwall, United Kingdom

I am a graduate of Falmouth School of Art & Design where I studied Graphic Design. I am currently living and working in the historic town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall, UK.

I work in Oil on Canvas but usually on occasionally gesso-coated wood panels.

I have worked for major British, American and European book publishers, illustrating educational books. I have worked on private and commercial mural projects in the United States, Australia, and Asia and my paintings are in private collections world-wide.

I have written for International Artist Magazine and was 2015 International Artist at the
