Born in Shrewsbury in 1976, Drew Darcy was first introduced to oil painting at Stonyhurst College, Lancashire. Hundreds of hours were spent in the ‘Art Room’, where he learnt many of the techniques he uses today. He successfully completed a BTEC National Diploma in Art & Design at Bourneville Art College.

In the time waiting for the paint to dry, he formed a guitar band and spent a few years performing all over the UK and Ireland. But he found himself continually drawn back to the canvas, and in 2002 he became a full time artist. After successfully exhibiting, he later had the opportunity to show five new pieces at the Autumn Fair in Birmingham 2004 and exhibited throughout the UK. In few years time.
