Leonard Birch. Born 1947 in London. Went to Hammersmith college of art, studied painting. Left in 1967. Drifted about for a while, surfaced in the mid 1970s. Started painting. Made a living as a sign writer and mural painter. I had to rebuild a house and so decided to become a carpenter and I have been a carpenter up until recently (although art of one sort or another had always figured). This site represents work selected from the last seven years.


Regarding the meaning  and intent of the work, where it came from etc; I don’t really want to go down that route. If asked I might say something but if asked again I might say something completely different.
