B. 1941, British Born in the East coastal town of Bridlington in Yorkshire, England, and largely self-taught, Michael Whitehand is one of England’s top maritime artists. He has successfully exhibited his work internationally and his paintings are in important collections, like Britain’s recent Prime Minister, John Major. Whitehand’s style and the quality of his work is reminiscent of Montague Dawson. Just as with Dawson, Whitehand has succeeded in creating atmosphere, excitement and realistic images.
