Jeremy King was born in Oundle, Northamptonshire in 1933. He studied at the Lancaster College of Arts and Crafts and continued with his education at the London University Institute of Education. He began his career by teaching art and 3D design pottery. He left teaching in 1967 and dedicated himself to his artistic pursuits, specifically in painting, lithography and working in ateliers in Spain, Paris, and at the Curwen Studio in London. In the mid ‘70s, Jeremy moved to Port Isaac in Cornwall with his wife, the famed painter Brenda King, and their three small children. Later they moved to St. Ives where he presently resides. Jeremy King has exhibited widely throughout England, including the Royal Academy and the Royal Institute of Oil Painting. He has also held one-man shows in the U.S.A., Paris and Tokyo. He paints mostly on location and a number of his images evolve from this practice, ranging from representational to abstract.
