Hamish Blakely was born in Canterbury UK, but now resides in Warwickshire were he thrives as a well known local artist. He got his education at Kingston University London. For a period of time Blakely was a professional illustrator and worked for businesses such as the body shop and British telecom. 

This rich history working in the creative industry provides Blakely with a strong understanding for art and the creating process. Blakely has expressed how ever-changing his work as progressed as a painter, saying “I have completely changed the way I paint over decades. In fact, I am proud, not conceited, to write that I now paint in a way that I would have thought impossible twenty, thirty years ago.”

His art work now focuses deeply on the female form. Blakely uses a rich colour palette, finessing layers of tone to create a smooth transition in colour. He has cited that his muse for many works is his loving wife, Gail.

Blakely has described how he hopes his work provokes questions for his audience, that he wants “viewers to enjoy the paintings first, and be confronted with more searching questions after.”
