Born in Oundle, Northants in 1933, Jeremy King studied at the
Lancaster College of Arts and Crafts and, after National Service, at the London University Institute of
Education. From 1958 to 1967 he taught
art and 3D design pottery at Haymill Secondary School, Burnham. In 1967 he left teaching to take up painting
and lithography full time, working in ateliers in Spain, Paris and at the
Curwen Studio, London. In 1976 he moved
to Port Isaac, Cornwall with his wife, painter Brenda King and their three
children, and them to St. Ives. He
paints mostly on location and a number of images evolve from this practice. Jeremy has exhibited widely throughout
England, including the Royal Academy and the Royal Institute of Oil
Painting. His work is in the Tate
Gallery Print Collection and is widely collected in North America. His first one-man show in the USA was held in
1984 at the Ruthven Gallery, Lancaster, Ohio, followed by a second in
1986. Jeremy has held successful shows
in France and the USA and exhibited in Tokyo in 2000. He also exhibited with his wife Brenda in
Brittany in 2002.
