Nigel Waymouth

Nigel Waymouth was born in India in 1941. His early childhood was spent in Argentina until he moved to England in 1953. He graduated in economic history at University College, London. Following this, he attended art courses at various London art colleges. In 1967 he teamed up with fellow artist, Michael English, and began designing the quintessential British pop posters of that era. Most of the originals of these graphic designs are in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Since 1970, Waymouth has pursued a successful career as a painter, particularly as a much sought after portraitist. His work has been exhibited in many art galleries, both in England and the United States. He has also been included in numerous group shows. His works have been commissioned and collected by many well known and distinguished public and private collectors around the world, such as, Mr. & Mrs. Rupert Murdoch, The Duchess of York, The Duke of Devonshire, Mr. & Mrs. Tom Hanks, Mr. Dominick Dunne, Dame Diana Rigg, Mr. Peter Morton, Mr. & Mrs. Eric Idle, Dr. & Mrs. Mortimer Sackler, Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst.
