Ged Mitchell

Unashamedly self-taught Ged Mitchell believes that his lack of training in art academia has been to his advantage; “I was able to develop a style of my own” he says, “which has evolved over the years, but still maintains the key features that make it distinctive”.

For Ged Mitchell it’s the English county of Cheshire that is home and provides much of the inspiration for his work; “It’s on my doorstep and the ever-changing light and seasons in this country make it a painter’s paradise.”

The urge to paint is never far away, always looking for imagery that reflects his desire to depict comfortable places and ultimately “the idea of a safe haven – a good, calm, peaceful place”.
