L.J. Pearce.

Pearce began his career as an architectural graphic designer where he earned membership to the Royal Academy of Industrial Artists and Designers. Reverting to fine art in the 1970’s, he studied at Sutton & Cheam School of Art as well as the City & Guilds School of Art both in London. His style recalls the 19th Century Ship Portrait, inspired by his father’s collection of Victorian art. His work has garnered him awards at both the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the Mystic Seaport Museum and is represented in many fine public and private collections.
