Neville Connor has pursued a career as an artist and jazz musician since growing up in the western riverina town of Hay. His passion for art, in particular, was fuelled during his schooling by his manual arts teacher who encouraged his talent as art was not a subject taught.
Connor moved to study art at East Sydney Art School and later onto the UK at Camden Art School, London. His overseas odyssey continued for several years as a professional musician and painter. He played music in Greece and Turkey and exhibited his work in Athens.
He is a painter of landscapes, figurative and coastal scenes and his work sits comfortably in traditional and contemporary art genres with their distinct tonal palette and woven geometric patterns. His paintings reflect many elements of his life. He is occasionally drawn back to Hay where he finds the majesty of the plains and the ever changing play of light from daylight to dusk provide an endless catalogue of landscapes.
He lives on the NSW South Coast where he continues to paint and play music. |
