Adrian Rigby - Artist

Adrian Rigby's artistic talent was encouraged from an early age by his teachers who saw his potential. Throughout his schooling he attained top grades and continued his education at Blackpool College where he studies Natural History Illustration. Adrian Rigby's two great passions, art and wildlife were combined at this time. He passed his course with top grades and as a result was invited back to the college to teach part-time. Primarily he launched his professional career in advertising illustration. He continued to paint the subjects that inspired him namely wildlife and aviation and contacted galleries in order to exhibit his work. His ability to paint with such clarity and detail enabled him to leave behind his career in advertising illustration and commit to becoming a full time artist.
