Stuart Hirst was born in Bradford in 1950. He is a professional artist based in Saltaire near Bradford. After a foundation year at Bradford Art College he studied at Exeter Art College where he gained a degree in Fine Art. Stuart has painted professionally since 1973. In 1979 he was awarded the Yorkshire Television Fine Art Fellowship Award which resulted in a number of one man shows across the North East of England from York to Kings Lynn. All met with critical acclaim. He has exhibited at major venues in London and continues to exhibit his work several times each year.

Our website contains a number of galleries where we have tried to classify the broad range of Stuart's work. Although famed for his watercolour 'wet street scenes' he also works in oil on canvas to produce some inspiring and thought provoking images. Much of them based on childhood memories of the industrial past, of train spotting, playing on the rough ground of spoil heaps near the mills and engineering works of Bradford in the 50's and 60's. Take time to enjoy these wonderful, honest, images and feel free to contact us for a colour brochure or to purchase prints and original works.
