Clive Pryke was born in the Cheshire village of Prestbury in 1948. He lived in Devon for ten years before settling in the Vale of Evesham.

Clive's compositions are the distillation of the essential countryside seen in its changing seasons.

Demand for his paintings turned him professional in 1981. Now his watercolours and paintings are not only in Galleries in England and America they are also in private collections in Singapore, Sydney and San Francisco.
