Having retired from a life-long career in design & marketing, Shaun Forward is a fineart painter, urban sketcher & printmaker, located in Dorset, UK.
Shaun spends much of his time either in his purpose-built garden studio or preferably, producing work en plein air in the Dorset landscape or along its wonderful coastline. An active member of several arts societies, he is also available to lead workshops on one of his favourite disciplines, ‘rendering in pen & ink.’
