Born in Carlisle in 1964 Colin Halliday Studied a foundation course in fine art in that city between 1987-88. Further Study took place in Exeter University where he obtained his BA (Honours) in 1988.

Colin has exhibited extensively throughout his career as a painter with shows throughout the UK including several recent exhibitions in London.

This is his first season with Thomas Henry Gallery and I am thrilled and delighted to show these small series of wonderful new sea paintings in my Nantucket based gallery.

The paintings on show amount to some of the finest sea paintings that I have ever exhibited in my career as an art dealer. They are alive with movement and vibrancy and they are imbued with the raw energy of the sea. Whilst incredibly beautiful these paintings are not in the least sentimental. We are invited by the artist to join him on his journey to the shoreline and feel all the intensity and movement of the ocean that these rich paintings magnificantly convey.... Terrific!
