From an early age, Australian Artist Leigh Hewson-Bower showed a passion for drawing and painting; in his father’s hardware shop in Melbourne he would sit at the counter drawing for hours at a time, much to the customers’ amusement. In his early teens, he made copies of his favourite artists’ work: Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Van Eyck.

The success of his landscape and seascape paintings has seen him continue a pursuit of excellence that began many years ago with a young boy fascinated by the Masters.
